Question

We’d like to hide our content until it’s midnight on a certain day; after that time, we’d like to show an iframe to a certain form. How can this be achieved? I was wondering if maybe you’d use the jQuery countdown plugin in combination with something?

The only proper solution is to do the check serverside, because anything with timers can be manipulated on clientside with (relative) ease.

It should be something like the following (pseudocode):

serverside script:

// normal stuff

if (servertime == your desired time){
      // include the special codez
      // It's probably best to have that iframe content in a separate file
      // and just import the file here
}

// more normal stuff
