If you guys want a good website for quizzes over each of the chapters, go to:
http://college.cengage.com/history/us/kennedy/am_pageant_brief/6e/students/ace.html
It’s the official website for the sixth edition of our book (we have the thirteenth edition). It has 30-question quizzes for each chapter that are very useful for studying. Even though it’s for the sixth edition, it reviews the same material.

Hi, Scoop! I wrote you the code for the days counter. You *should* be able to copy-paste this in place of the actual number–leave all the surrounding text like ” DAYS to the EXAM!!!!!!!!”. If all goes well, it’ll work automagically and require no more updating:
function showdays(){
var today = new Date();
var testday = new Date(‘May 8, 7:30 AM ‘+(today.getFullYear()));
if(today>testday)
{
testday.setYear(today.getFullYear()+1);
}
var diff=testday-today;
var daysleft=Math.floor(diff/(1000*60*60*24))//msecs*secs*minutes*hours;
document.write(daysleft);
}
showdays();

Aargh! The text box ate part of the code. You just need script tags around what I have above. Cheers!

Hey Scoop,
Umm…. on this you say we have a test on Feb. 13th, but I’m pretty sure we don’t have school that day b/c the elementary schools have a report day. Unless that’s just the elementary schools that get off…
