Realtime JavaScript Death Counter
This morbid and tasteless JavaScript displays the deaths caused by 69 different causes happening right now in realtime all over the world. Easy configuration of death-causes, background-color and font-attributtes. Internet Explorer 5x/6x/7x/8x/9x, Firefox 2x/3x, Opera 6x/7x/8x/9x/10x/11x, Google Chrome 4x/5x/6x/7x/8x.

Configuration:

Step 1: Open the webpage that will display the Realtime Death Counter. Use a simple texteditor such as NotePad or WordPad. Frontpage, Dreamweaver, GoLive or Word are not recommended. Paste the following code anywhere into the body-section of the webpage:

	var now = new Date()
	var now=Math.floor((now.getTime()/1000))
	var hereSince = now - enterTime
	for (i=0; i<=cause.length-1; i++) {
		var content=cause[i].split("|")
		content[1]=Math.floor(content[1]/secyear*hereSince)
    	document.getElementById('cell'+i).innerHTML=content[1]
    	document.getElementById('titlecell').innerHTML="  Realtime Death counter: Deaths within the last "+hereSince+" seconds"
	}	
	var setT = setTimeout("docounter()",1000)		
}

function showNr(zahlProSec,hereSi,gifNa) {

var zahlSince = ""+Math.floor(hereSi*zahlProSec) 
	var rechtsPos = 9 -	zahlSince.length-1

for (i=0; i<= zahlSince.length-1; i++) {
		document.images[gifNa+(i+rechtsPos)].src = "z"+zahlSince.charAt(i)+".gif"
	}
}

if (document.getElementById) {
	window.onload=docounter
}
</script>

Step 2: Open your webpage. Go to the top of the script-code and configure the font-attributes, the background-colors and the causes of deaths.

Step 3: Live healthy and have fun!
