// Instructions for this JavaScript:
// There are two ways to use this popup_function JavaScript.  You can simply post a notice
// with an expiry datetime (if you want to post something immediately), or you can post a 
// notice with a start time & expiry time in case you want to do future notices.
// 
// For the first behaviour, use the popup_until function which takes an expiry time only.
// For the second behaviour (start & end times) use the popup_between function.

// 20040904 - Corey - added new function to allow popup-between start time & end time. 
// Use the popup-between function rather than the popup-until function.

//popup_until(2004,09,03,13,30);

// remember to re-post this .js file after changing it!	
// popup_between(start_year,start_month,start_day,start_hour,start_minute,end_year,end_month,end_day,end_hour,end_minute)
popup_between(2005,11,14,04,00,2005,11,14,19,00);
