Reset to default 7try:
var sinceYear = new Date('01/01/2005');
$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({since: sinceYear});
quick demo
edit more options
var sinceYear = new Date('01/01/2005');
$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({since: sinceYear,
format: 'YdHMS',
layout:'<b>{yn} {yl},{dn} {dl} and '+
'{hn} {hl}, {mn} {ml}, {sn} {sl}</b>'});
another quick demo
$('#since').countdown({ since: new Date(2005, 1 - 1, 1) });
You're looking for since.
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">@import "jquery.countdown.css";</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.countdown.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var epoch = new Date("1/1/2005");
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#countup").countdown({since: epoch});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="countup">
</div>
</body>
</html>
code untested. you will need to acmodate the location of the script files yourself.
Edited:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({ since: new Date(2005, 0, 1) });
</script>
<span id="defaultCountdown" class="countdown"></span>
