AKICILJ: HTML widgets

carbonelOn a Ravelry group I'm on, someone wants a countdown clock to the Tour de France. She found one here. Unfortunately, the code provided at the "copy this code" window doesn't make the widget appear; instead, it just gives a link to this page, which is buried deep in the mess of code.
A bit of googling yielded someone saying something about having to put widgets in a "widget-aware" location, but that seemed to be related to Wordpress and other blog managers. I copied the HTML text into this post. It doesn't display properly, but the disclaimer says it won't until it's on a web server, so maybe that's why.
Ideally, the countdown timer would be at the top of a Ravelry page, where the moderator has the ability to edit the HTML within Ravelry's parameters.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work?

You'll have to know the time and date of the event.
