This example only hides the "buy" link after the date has passed
(it actually checks to see if it's within 2 hours of the data/time).
It assumes that you and your customers are within the same time
zone and that there won't be a Daylight Saving Time change just
before showtime. Older browsers and browsers that have javascript
disabled will still see the link.
