I 've just been through the tutorial on making a countdown to a specific date  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/countdown.htm)  
I was wondering if any one could tell me how to alter the code so I can set a date for next year. The tutorial only shows how to pick a date for the current year.  
I appreciate any ideas any one has  
Thanks
