Question

Im trying to write a function that counts down to a date which works fine but once the date is passed my countdown keeps on going into the – numerals.

After 1 day is left I need it to say ‘Today’ and after its passed I need it to say ‘Finished’

I’ve made fiddle I hope can explain it better, thanks

Something like this should do the trick. Not tested, your mileage may vary etc…

var dateText = '';
if (e_days_left == 1) {
   dateText = 'Today';
} else if (timeLeft <= 0) {
   dateText = 'Finished';
} else {
   dateText = daysLeft.toString();
}
document.getElementById('cdown').innerHTML = dateText;
