JavaScript - Countdown In Each Table Row

Hi there, I was looking for a countdown script that counts down starting at a number (50) which starts again once it reaches (0). The count down isnt in seconds, it should be in 10 second increments.

This meaning that it starts at 50, and they goes to 49 after 10 seconds..

Can anyone help?

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.

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

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...

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. Here is the js file:

Please tell me what I need to do to make all of them countdown properly and tell me what technique I can use in the future to do this for future websites in case I need to countdown to 30 events. I would appreciate any help.

Please understand that i have looked through the different timers on the JavaScript section but did not find any that can do what i am looking for and i don't know programming to edit any of them.

I would like to have a countdown timer on my website that will count down from 12:00:01 am server time and end at midnight again of the same day (the clock should count down a full 24 hours) then it will automatically reset itself and count down again each and every day starting from 1 second after midnight. The count down should display hours : minutes : seconds just like a digital watch. I would also like to it to go with the server time and not client computer time so it will only count down according to the server time.

One more thing .... each day a new trivia question will be posted and ppl have 1 day to answer the trivia question for a chance to win something (that is why the script is counting down). Will the script be able to automatically load a new trivia each day at midnight as the timer resets or do i have to load the trivia manually? If im getting way out of my head here then lets forget this last part.

If it can be done i will certainly appreciate the advice.

I'm not sure what im doing wrong here this technique im using works for a different countdown file. Here is the code:

Even tho my method works for 1 file it's inconsistent with this one, there must be a better technique I can use in case I have to do 100 countdowns on a page.

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 all,

This is my first post on a forum regarding help so I'm sorry in advance.

I currently have a text based MMORPG.

I am trying to create a countdown timer for my functions(Crime, Car Steal and so on)

Code:

    window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);

    function Tick() {
        window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
    }
	var Timer;
var TotalSeconds;


function CreateTimer(TimerID, Time) {
    Timer = document.getElementById(TimerID);
    TotalSeconds = Time;
    
    UpdateTimer()
    window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
}

function Tick() {
    TotalSeconds -= 1;
    UpdateTimer()
    window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
}

function UpdateTimer() {
    Timer.innerHTML = TotalSeconds;
}

function Tick() {
    if (TotalSeconds <= 0) {
        alert("Available")
        return;
    }

    TotalSeconds -= 1;
    UpdateTimer()
    window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
}

function UpdateTimer() {
    var Seconds = TotalSeconds;
    
	var Days = Math.floor(Seconds / 86400);
    Seconds -= Days * 86400;
	
    var Hours = Math.floor(Seconds / 3600);
    Seconds -= Hours * (3600);

    var Minutes = Math.floor(Seconds / 60);
    Seconds -= Minutes * (60);


    var TimeStr = ((Days > 0) ? Days + " days " : "") + LeadingZero(Hours) + ":" + LeadingZero(Minutes) + ":" + LeadingZero(Seconds)


    Timer.innerHTML = TimeStr + "Organised Robbery!";
}


function LeadingZero(Time) {

    return (Time < 10) ? "0" + Time : + Time;

}

Any help with regards to this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hey there, first off, here is the countdown script 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> 


Now I was wondering if I can do 2 things to this script, 1) make it "flash" during the last 10 seconds of the countdown, and 2) Once it hits 0, then it'll show the FinishMessage for perhaps 10 sec, then it would restart the countdown with a new targetdate. Is that possible at all?

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:

Any help I could get would be MUCH appreciated.

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

Hello everybody,

i really need your help with one issue. I have got one page running under Wordpress and i would like to add some countdown to widget to show when i will be again online.

for example:

I am online every working day (monday - friday) from 08:00 AM to 04:30 PM. So it would be nice to show to my subscribers when i would be online again.

So lets think about that is Thuesday 07:00 PM, so on my page would be visible this: "I will be back in 13 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds"

Or in Saturday at 07:00 PM there will be written: "I will be back in 37 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds"


I would really apreciate every help, thank you in advance!
