}
//enter the count down date using the format year/month/day
countdown(2015,12,25)

I've got this countdown script we used last year, and we want to use it again, but I don't recall how I made it appear on screen.

I have tried this:
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
<script src="/js/xmas.js"></script>

But nothing shows,

Yes just tried this. I was assuming just adding the js code on the page would do it.

No. It's not producing anything on screen.
If you do a dummy page, with that code, in theory it should show... should it not?
