jimdahl Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeah, I'm still kind of playing around with that (which is why it's only one page). A couple design notes: 1) Though the web is full of dubious-quality countdown tickers, I believe I'm correctly accounting for time zones (number of hours until the game is based on YOUR local time zone and DST) and not using any browser-specific gimmicks to make the dynamic content happen (for you Firefox geeks) 2) The dream is to have it function as a no-reload-required score ticker so if you left the page loaded pre-game and came back post-game, the score would be there The big problem with #2 is data quality -- still don't have a great data source for mid-game score updates, so rather than real-time like TV tickers, it might just update with the final score postgame.
