JavaScript - Countdown Then Refresh
Hi to all,
I got a timestamp (in the future) and I want to display on a page how many seconds this differs from now. I know how to do this in PHP, but now it's static, I want it to actually count down. After the countdown, the page should be refreshed, although I could also do this with a meta tag, as I can just find the value with PHP on load and put that value in a meta refresh tag. Could you help me out with one of these things? x5x_tim Similar TutorialsHi Guys, Our company own a lot of domains and want to put a short page of copy on each address along with keywords before redirecting the user to our main site. I have been able to get the page to load the main site after the desired time using this code in the head... Quote: <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="40;URL=http://webaddress.com/"> That works perfectly, I am now trying to display a countdown timer from 40 seconds down to 0, and on 0 redirect the user. Saying something like "You will be redirected in XX seconds". Is there anyway of doing this? I've been searching google for the answers with no luck and can only seem to find timers that countdown to a set date. Thanks in advance! Ria I was wondering how I can make the page refresh after the timer has reached 0 for X amount of seconds? Here is the code I am using: PHP Code: <script language="JavaScript"> TargetDate = "{$timerdate}"; BackColor = "#FFFFFF"; ForeColor = "#FF0000"; CountActive = true; CountStepper = -1; LeadingZero = true; DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days %%H%% Hours %%M%% Minutes %%S%% Seconds"; FinishMessage = "<b>Price has been reduced!</b>"; </script> PHP Code: function calcage(secs, num1, num2) { s = ((Math.floor(secs/num1))%num2).toString(); if (LeadingZero && s.length < 2) s = "0" + s; return "<b>" + s + "</b>"; } function CountBack(secs) { if (secs < 0) { document.getElementById("cntdwn").innerHTML = FinishMessage; return; } DisplayStr = DisplayFormat.replace(/%%D%%/g, calcage(secs,86400,100000)); DisplayStr = DisplayStr.replace(/%%H%%/g, calcage(secs,3600,24)); DisplayStr = DisplayStr.replace(/%%M%%/g, calcage(secs,60,60)); DisplayStr = DisplayStr.replace(/%%S%%/g, calcage(secs,1,60)); document.getElementById("cntdwn").innerHTML = DisplayStr; if (CountActive) setTimeout("CountBack(" + (secs+CountStepper) + ")", SetTimeOutPeriod); } function putspan(backcolor, forecolor) { document.write("<span id='cntdwn' style='background-color:" + backcolor + "; color:" + forecolor + "'></span>"); } if (typeof(BackColor)=="undefined") BackColor = "white"; if (typeof(ForeColor)=="undefined") ForeColor= "black"; if (typeof(TargetDate)=="undefined") TargetDate = "12/31/2020 5:00 AM"; if (typeof(DisplayFormat)=="undefined") DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds."; if (typeof(CountActive)=="undefined") CountActive = true; if (typeof(FinishMessage)=="undefined") FinishMessage = ""; if (typeof(CountStepper)!="number") CountStepper = -1; if (typeof(LeadingZero)=="undefined") LeadingZero = true; CountStepper = Math.ceil(CountStepper); if (CountStepper == 0) CountActive = false; var SetTimeOutPeriod = (Math.abs(CountStepper)-1)*1000 + 990; putspan(BackColor, ForeColor); var dthen = new Date(TargetDate); var dnow = new Date(); if(CountStepper>0) ddiff = new Date(dnow-dthen); else ddiff = new Date(dthen-dnow); gsecs = Math.floor(ddiff.valueOf()/1000); CountBack(gsecs); Hi, I have the below code: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function loadQuickMessageCheck(File,ID){
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
document.getElementById(ID).innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
eucalyptus = setInterval(function(){loadQuickMessageCheck(File,ID)},20000);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("POST",File,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
But I am overloading the server and crashing it. I've googled the issue and have found people with similar problems who talk about the need to cancel the last refresh request before they send the next refresh. I even found this nice piece of code which worked for someone else. Quote: try{window.clearTimeout(tRefresh)} catch(err) {} tRefresh = setInterval(setContext, varInterval*60*1000); } I am not sure if this is the solution that I am looking for but if it is all my attempts at applying this code has been a bit of a disaster. hello i need code for my page, i need to show time elapsing, i mean 15sec countig down to 0 could you help me? i need help in following js code. what i want it to add micro seconds to this code.

how can i add micro secs? Hey all, I'm trying to sort a countdown clock for my website: http://www.cyber-technix.com/corps/index.php/ My vision of it was a transparent background, Blue text and a simple Day : Hour : Minute : Second Layout. I found a free .js countdown clock at http://www.hashemian.com/tools/javascript-countdown.htm Anyone got any better suggestions? I havn't used .js much so I may need some help implementing it if someone would be kind enough to help me out, thanks. hi, i am currently trying to write a javascript program; it would be for a library reservation system. this would be put on the computers with sessions from 15 minutes to 2 hours (in 15 minute chunks i.e, 15, 30, 45, 1 hour). this program would countdown the remaining time on their session, with pop-up messages appearing every so often. at the end of the session, the program will have to automatically log the user off. i am a student studying javascript, and haven't got any idea how to even start can anyone give me a helping hand to get me started. thanks Hi everyone, I need a countdown timer that will count down exactly from a time that i set. i want it to count in this format: hh:mm:ss. i need it for a online shop , at the main page there are few products for sell and i want each one of them to have its own countdown timer. in addition when it will get to 00:00:00 i want that it will automatically add like 5 hours and continue counting down.. P.s i dont know javascript.. thanks guys I'm making an additional page for a phpbb forum for a game. On the page there's 2 textareas to paste in a list of coordinates from a map and then the time it takes to get from each of the coordinates in the left box to each of the coordinates in the right box is calculates and shown in a table. Also is a date/time input, where the user will pick the desired time of arrival. I have this all calculating the times etc. but I would like in one of the columns for it to have a real-time counter that will count down the time before they need to start on the trip in order to arrive at the desired time. I am having a nightmare of a time with this. Here's the script, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Code: <!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

hi, i need to create a javascript countdown based on the times given. If the start time is 17:45 and the end time is 19:32 (in that format) for example, how would i create a countdown for the time between 17:45 and 19:32. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great! thanks Hi please help me with this website. This website is used to list 6 events and then it should accurately countdown to when that event happens. As it is right now it accurately counts days, but hours, minutes, and seconds are counted down incorrectly.

}
function LeadingZero(Time) {
return (Time < 10) ? "0" + Time : + Time;
}
Any help with regards to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance I am making a website and the page is oriented around a countdown system. If the timer ever reaches 0, the whole thing will stop. Below are the specifics: I need a countdown timer that runs from 30 seconds to 0 seconds. If the timer is at 0 seconds, the script runs php code #1 (which makes the timer stop and if any user refreshes the page, it will still stay at zero). There is also two buttons. If user clicks on button #1, the timer will get reset to 30 seconds remaining. Then the script will run the php code #2 (which allows the timer to begin counting down again from 30 seconds). If user clicks on button #2, the timer will get reset to 5 seconds remaining and same thing follows as the first button. And obviously the timer should show the same number (seconds remaining) for all the users on the website! Thank You Hey guys/gals, I have a code working great, all except that I want it to start a 36 hour countdown and do it forever after the initial timer hits 0. Here's what I have so far: PHP Code: <html> <body> <center> <div style="width:1000px;height:65px;border:3px outset blue;"> <a href="http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii17/zynner/?action=view¤t=Aetherite_Icon.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii17/zynner/Aetherite_Icon.png" border="0" alt="Aetherite"></a> <sup><big><b>Guildleves Will Reset In: <script type = "text/javascript"> dateFuture = new Date(2010,9,5,22,10,30); //you can adjust this if a server reset changes leve times. function GetCount(){ dateNow = new Date(); amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime(); delete dateNow; if(amount < 0){ This is where i think the loop should be, yes?

Hi All, I am trying to set up a countdown function that will be called on the click of a button. Function is below Code:
function countDown(sec, min) {
sec--;
if (sec == -01) {
sec = 59;
min = min - 1;
} else {
min = min;
}
if (sec<=9) { sec = "0" + sec; }
time = (min<=9 ? "0" + min : min) + " min and " + sec + " sec ";
if (document.getElementById) { theTime.innerHTML = time; }
SD=window.setTimeout("countDown();", 1000);
if (min == '00' && sec == '00') { sec = "00"; window.clearTimeout(SD); }
}
function addLoadEvent(func) {
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
if (oldonload) {
oldonload();
}
func();
}
}
}
addLoadEvent(function() {
});
However I get an error after one second. Script can be found here - http://www.jivalot.co.uk/m.php Can anyone help? Kind regards, Slate I found this countdown timer online that starts when the page loads at 30 seconds and counts down to zero. What I need for it to do however is once it hits 0 it needs to automatically reset itself back to 30 seconds. It's being used in conjunction with a online (not a chat room) chatterbot where people often abuse the bot with foul language. The idea being to stop them from entering text to the bot for 30 seconds. I'm using these lines in the chatterbot where xxx would be the foul language. The stopTalk part prevents entering text for 30 seconds. The display() triggers the countdown. However, once it hits 0 it's dead in the water. If someone types another bad word the timer isn't going to work. Note: The timer is just a visual diplay so the user can see how long he must wait. The StopTalk below is working fine to stop the user from entering text. That part isn't the problem. Code: if (input.search("xxx")!= -1)
{document.result.result.value = "Stop the foul language. You can no longer enter text for 30 seconds";
display()
stopTalk = setTimeout('icon.src=icon1.src;stopTalk=false;',30000)
return true;}
1) Because this is an online chatterbot that temporarily stores information about the user I can't restart the timer by refreshing the page or I would lose that information. 2) I don't want to use a button to reset the timer. If at all possible I want the timer to reset automatically. Any help would be appreciated. Code: <form name="counter"><input type="text" size="8"
name="d2"></form>
<script>
<!--
//
var milisec=0
var seconds=30
document.counter.d2.value='30'
function display(){
if (milisec<=0){
milisec=9
seconds-=1
}
if (seconds<=-1){
milisec=0
seconds+=1
}
else
milisec-=1
document.counter.d2.value=seconds+"."+milisec
setTimeout("display()",100)
}
display()
-->
</script>
I figured if there was one it would be a Javascript but does anyone know of a countdown clock that almost looks like a counter/turnstile number row? Like this sorta: I've been looking for one where I have the numbers look just like that and 'push' upward as the times (days, minutes, seconds) go on. Hopefully someone knows of a script >< Thanks alot!!! Hello to all. I apologise if this question has been asked before, I am banging my head off a wall and am in need of some help. I am trying to find a script (and failed, even on google) to create a countdown timer on a website. The details are : a countdown timer that (a) runs off server time, not client time and (b) resets every 10 minutes. The only example i could give to clear up any questions would be something extremely similar to facebook app games : eg mafia wars etc energy refill timers so people visiting my web page would see a countdown timer that was counting down 10 minutes and then resetting itself, on the hour, 10 past, 20 past etc etc. And also, can the counter trigger a script, orwouldit be best to use a scheduled task for this? I do not want the timer to take the user from the web page. I am not sure of the exact name of a such counter, so maybe thats why google is not giving me the answers i need. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Also I know i maybe need php to run frrom a server time. I can code php half-competently, but javascript is out of my knowledge range at present (although i can usually see code and know how to adapt it to my needs etc) Thankyou to all who can help Hi guys, I'm building a page which has a countdown timer on it (days, hours, mins) and I honestly really don't know much about Javascript at all. I have spent over half a day looking through tutorials and code snippets and think I'm close, but I'm still having trouble with the output. I need to pull out the days/hours/mins separately as they sit within different HTML elements. The days appear to be displaying correctly, but the hours is showing 3 digits instead of 2 and the mins is showing 5 digits instead of 2: 32 days, 764 hours, 45845 mins Here is the code I'm using: Code: var now = new Date();
var theevent = new Date("June 18 2011 10:00:00");
var seconds = (theevent - now) / 1000;
var mins = seconds / 60;
var hours = mins / 60;
var days = hours / 24;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();", 1000);
function update() {
now = new Date();
seconds = (theevent - now) / 1000;
seconds = Math.round(seconds);
mins = seconds / 60;
mins = Math.round(mins);
hours = mins / 60;
hours = Math.round(hours);
days = hours / 24;
days = Math.round(days);
document.getElementById('days').innerHTML = days;
document.getElementById('hours').innerHTML = hours;
document.getElementById('mins').innerHTML = mins;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();",1000);
}
Thanks a bunch in advance... |
