I have followed the guidelines in the Inspirational post: “Live countdown timer” https://www.editorx.com/inspiration/site/live-countdown-timer
But I encounter a problem and I hope someone can help me resolve it:
The example used in the guidelines operate with 2-digits number of days
My event is +200 days away – so 3-digit number of days – I have made the text element 3 digits instead of 2; tried to do so just for days as well as for all (days, hours, minutes, days) … But its not working: it displays only 2-digit… so missing the 2… in 247 days to go…
I would really appreciate any help!

const countDownDate = new Date(“Mar 02, 2024 10:00:00 GMT -09:00”).getTime();
$w.onReady(function () {
startCountDown();
});
// COUNTDOWN - Set the date we’re counting down to
function startCountDown() {
// set the clock for the first time
getDistanceOfTimer();
//show the clock
$w(‘#countdownContainer’).show();
// Update the count down every 1 second
setInterval(function () {
getDistanceOfTimer();
}, 1000);
}
function getDistanceOfTimer() {
// Get today’s date and time
const now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the countdown date
const distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
let days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 60 60 24));
let hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 60 60 24)) / (1000 60 60));
let minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 60 60)) / (1000 60));
let seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 60)) / 1000);
console.log(seconds);
$w(‘#days’).text = (‘0’ + days.toString()).slice(-2);
$w(‘#hours’).text = (‘0’ + hours.toString()).slice(-2);
$w(‘#minutes’).text = (‘0’ + minutes.toString()).slice(-2);
$w(‘#seconds’).text = (‘0’ + seconds.toString()).slice(-2);
}
