I found out how (just a couple of minutes ago):
You don't need to initialize a variable using the new Date, but do the
initialization inside .countdown({
example:
$('div#countdowntimer').countdown({until:new Date
(2009,9,15,14,0,0),format:'odHMS'});
This will countdown to: September 15th 2009, 14:00
Cheers,
Mehigh
