HTML SUPER-SIMPLE Adding styling & line of text to a countdown timer

Hi,

Hoping this is really easy to someone who isn't a total newbie to coding!

I've got the following code to add a countdown clock to my site today, but I want to add styling to it to centralise, make bold and size 16pt, plus have "Hurry! Offer ends in:" before it on the same line, but I can't work out what I need to add where - hoping someone can help ASAP?

The paragraph coding on lines 5-11 affected how the rest of the text on the page displayed on my site, so I had to remove them. This styling needs to be self-contained to just this element if possible.


[CODE lang="html" highlight="5-11"][CODE highlight="5-11"]<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<html>

<head>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<style>

p {

text-align: center;

font-size: 60px;

margin-top: 0px;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>



<p id="demo"></p>



<script>

// Set the date we're counting down to

var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2022 15:37:25").getTime();



// Update the count down every 1 second

var x = setInterval(function() {



// Get today's date and time

var now = new Date().getTime();



// Find the distance between now and the count down date

var distance = countDownDate - now;



// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds

var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));

var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));

var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);



// Output the result in an element with id="demo"

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h "

+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";



// If the count down is over, write some text

if (distance < 0) {

clearInterval(x);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";

}

}, 1000);

</script>

If this is what you want, you can use it and carry on from here -

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
