It's probably just a never ending image. It's quite clever, I thought it was javascript at first!
It's pretty clear how it works.... It counts down 
How does this work? It's just loading an image!
After spending quite a bit of time searching both the Bitcointalk.org forum and Google, and not finding simple instructions for how to do this, I thought I'd add type this up. I eventually figured it out by right clicking on a post that had a countdown timer and looking through the source code. Hope this saves you some time.
This will add a countdown timer to your post, like the one below. This particular one is counting down to New Years Day 2014 (UTC).

It's pretty simple once you know how!
- Click on the Insert Image button. It's above the Wink emoticon.
- This will add the start and end img tags in [square brackets]. You can type them in yourself if you like.
- Insert this URL between the tags: https://www.onnit.com/emails/_modules/timer/?end=2014-01-01+00:00:00UTC&dark=1
- Edit the date and time (directly after /?end=) to set when you would like the countdown timer to reach zero.
If you need help converting your local time to UTC take a look at this website:
