Answer 1

Hi, This script is great but I was wondering how I would go about getting it to display the minutes and seconds? So, instead of saying 110 seconds it would say 1 minute 50 seconds. I tried playing with it myself but ended up breaking the script.. many times Any help would be really appreciated!

What you need do is start a timer in JavaScript then call your countdown code from that, which in turn starts the timer again. I use innerHTML to change the content of a tag, but you could use a textbox or whatever.



This goes into your HEAD section of the page







This goes in the BODY part

You can see a working example at http://brisray.com/test/countdown.htm

Why not just grab the code from one of the websites that offers a "make your own" countdown script?



Here's one example of a site like this:
