Javascript isn’t support I’m afraid. ( http://support.wordpress.com/code/ )
I don’t think you can get a countdown timer since they mostly use iframe, frame or javascript.

Have you read this topic? With these replies:

My request (for a countdown widget) is on the wordpress list of ‘things to be considered’ — so we iz hopeful! There is no doubt in my mind that lots of people would use it.

This is what I use as a countdown script.

Download this flash file:

Upload to your server.

Then put this html code in a text widget:

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.your-url.com/countdown.swf?mo=12&da=31&ho=10&co=000000″ width=”250″ height=”100″>
<param name=”movie” value=”http://www.your-url.com/countdown.swf?mo=12&da=31&ho=10&co=000000″ />
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
</object>

Change out mo= with the number of the month; da= with the number of the day; ho= with the hour; and co= with the 6 digit color code you want the countdown text to be.

You must put the data in the <object> and <param>.

Good luck!

Flash can’t be used on wordpress.com blogs so that won’t work here.
