help creating a counter

[svgmx5]

has anyone made a counter before that increases every 2 seconds?

 

it doe not have to increase every time a user clicks on something, it just has to increase by itself every 2 seconds

Sure, you can use the javascript setInterval function.  Here's a sample that sets up a form element and updates it every 2 seconds.

 

<br />
function init() {<br />
  document.forms["form1"].counter.value=0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
function updateCounter(){<br />
  document.forms["form1"].counter.value++;<br />
}<br />
<br />
window.onload=function(){<br />
  init();<br />
  setInterval(updateCounter, 2000);<br />
}<br />

</pre>
<form name="form1">
Counter: 
</form>
