Hi everyone!

I need an idea on how to make a simple numeric countdown for my page.

The countdown should go from e.g. 10 seconds, to zero.
When the counter hits zero, a disabled button that is located on my page should be enabled. I have made something like this with a script that I have downloaded and modified, but it consisted of a simple progress bar.

Unfortunately, the script only worked in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox (although I have Java installed).

This counter has to be textual - only a piece of text that looks like "Please wait... xx", where xx is the number that is counting down - decreasing.

Is there a way to do this, but to make it compatible with all major browsers out there without lot's of add-ons?

(To make things a little bit more clear, the counter should look like the one from www.rapidshare.de, but instead of revealing the download link, this script must enable my button)

Nothing fancy, but functionality is my main priority!

Any suggestions are welcome!
