countdown timer

[contra10]

I was told that I should use javascript to create a live countdown timer and then send information when the timer is finish send the information using php.

 

The question is basically how should i go about creating a timer with javascript?

[Floydian]

setInterval('code to eval....', milliseconds);

 

 

That function works like eval, executing the string as if it were js. And the milliseconds is the delay time between intervals. Once you set that, it will keep on running. To cancel it, you'd have to store the returned value from setInterval in a variable and call clearInterval

 

 

var timer = setInterval('code to eval....', milliseconds);

 

clearInterval(timer);

 

 

Hope that helps...
