Advanced Countdown Timer - When User Refreshes Page - Countdown Starts From 5 Minutes Again
Aug 7, 2010I found the below script that works fine for the actual countdown, but when the user refreshes the page, the countdown starts from 5 minutes again.
What I am trying to do, is handle users that put something in their shopping cart and then get side tracked or what ever reason and that same product then being purchased by another person when I only have 1 left.
So using PHP I am going to subtract the qty of that product by 1 and then I want the website to either put it back, if the users checkout times out, or if a normal process it is taken out permanently.
So long story short I think I need some sort of 'memory' for the javascript, so the user can't just keep refreshing and it starting from 5 minutes each time. Also it needs to be carried through to other pages.
JQuery :: Countdown Plugin: Restart Countdown Timer Every 24 Hours?
May 27, 2011Im putting together a pair of countdown timers that need to restart every 24 hours. One restarts at noon and the other at midnight. Im using Keith Woods plugin @ [URL]
So far I have been able to implement his serverTime function to sync to the servers clock and instantiated 2 countdown timers. so far so good.
What I need to do now is 2 things:
1. I need to define today + X hours to countdown to instead of setting a exact date like in this example:
var noonCountDown = new Date();
noonCountDown = new Date(noonCountDown.getFullYear() + 0, 5 - 1, 28, -12);// 2011, May, 28, 12pm
2. Once today is defined dynamically I believe that may just solve the problem and reset the timer. But I may not be thinking clearly here. So I guess Im just wondering if this is how you would go about making the countdown restart upon completion.
Here is my code that Ive got so far:
$(function () {
function serverTime() {
var time = null;
$.ajax({url: 'http://www.localhost.com/projects/countdown/servertime.php',
[Code].....
Passing Server Time - Countdown Timer That Currently Uses The Client's System Time To Calculate The Countdown
Feb 4, 2011I'm using a javascript-based countdown timer that currently uses the client's system time to calculate the countdown. I assume that this line of code is where this is performed:
Code:
I'm trying to make the script use server time instead as some people may have wrong dates/times set or live in different time zones etc.
So what I did was use a bit of php:
PHP Code:
This gives a result but now the countdown is 30 days off. I am testing on my local xampp server (which also uses system time) so there should be no discrepancy. I also tried adding
Code:
But no difference.
I can post the whole script if required but it is reasonably long.
Timer/Countdown
Mar 16, 2005I would like a counter/timer that will show in textboxes the time left to Saturday 07:00. When it reaches zero it should reset and calculate the time until the next Saturday 07:00, 4 weeks ahead...
Ex. next saturday is 19.3, when it resets it should set the timer to calculate the time to 16.4. 07:00, and when it resets again it should calculate the time to 14.4. 07:00. I hope you understand.

Javascript Timer Countdown
Jan 13, 2007Trying to write a javascript countdown script. Here's what I got:
function timer(position,count)
{
var newCount
if (position == 'start') {
document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML=count
newCount = count - 1
alert(newCount);
setTimeout("timer('go',newCount)",1000)
}
if (position == 'go') {
document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML=count
} }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="timer('start',10);">
onload starts the timer at 10 and then my first step was to have to go down to 9. But I get this javascript error message: Error: newCount is not defined
But I have it as an alert right before I call it and it alerts the variable just fine. Why would it say it isnt defined?
Countdown Timer With Cookie
May 25, 2010I have a js countdown timer which counts down from 60 seconds to zero and when it hits zero it redirects the page.
Only problem is that when the user refreshes the page the timer obviously reverts to 60 seconds.
Does anyone have any code which would turn this into a cookie so that the location of the timer is stored each time the page is refreshed and then the timer continues from where it left off?
My timer is using setTimeout.
I've seen a couple of examples of this on various forums but none actually seem to work - my cookies are switched on.
Also, I cannot use form, input or anything else like this due to the third party software we're using.
JQuery :: Countdown Timer And Database?
Jun 23, 2010I'm trying to create a countdown timer based upon[URL]...what I'm trying to do: The database has a date, then there is a certain amount of seconds. Say 60*10 = 600 seconds / 10 minutes.
Everytime somebody buys something the datetime in database will be updated to the datetime item was bought. Now my goal is that anyone who is watching the timer in REAL time will have their timer reset to 10 minutes when somebody else buy.
Now the probem is this. The timer works sometimes only. Usually the first 3 times after a page load when somebody buys an item it works. Then it doesn't work. Or work at random intervals. It just doesn't make any sense to me!??

Watching A Countdown Timer With Greasemonkey?
Mar 21, 2009What I would like to do is watch a countdown timer on a page, like the ones on swoopo.co.uk and then perfom an action depending on what time is left on the timer.
I've installed DOM inspector on Firefox and poked around with javascript shell and I think I've figured out how to read the timer and assign that to a variable, something like this -
var timer=document.getElementById('counter_index_page_162980').innerHTML;
Now I need to watch that so I guessed this would do -
while (timer!=="00:00:01")
{
var timer=document.getElementById('counter_index_page_162980').innerHTML;
}
alert('timer at 1 sec!');
But that just brings up an "unresponsive script" error in my browser.
Am I even close to the mark? I know I'm not going to win any auctions with this but I've already paid for the bids so I may as well use them now.
Getting The Countdown Timer To Reset Daily?
Jan 21, 2010Using the following script:
<script language="JavaScript">TargetDate = "01/22/2010 7:50 AM UTC-0500";
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
[code]....
Want target date to equal every day so it resets after the target date and time is hit. Optionally, it would be nice to have it reset 60 minutes after target is hit (so the FinishMessage can display) but if that's too complicated, I'd be happy to not have to manually reset the date every day.
Create A Countdown Timer On A Website?
Mar 21, 2010I 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. 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)

View 3 Replies View RelatedCountdown Timer With Cookie Tracking
Mar 24, 2008I am looking to create a script for one of my sales letters. What I want the script to do is have it countdown 24 hours for every customer. (The countdown would consist of hours, minutes and seconds) At the end the timer would say all zeros. Now, we would have to add customer tracking because if a customer closes the page and comes back later within the 24 hours I want the countdown to be true. So if he came back 2 hours and 30 minutes later the countdown would be at 21 Hours, 30 Minutes, 0 Seconds. Every customer that comes to my site would start at 24 hours.

Countdown Timer That Expires With A Hyperlink
Nov 7, 2010I don't have a lot of knowledge with javascripting or using jquery stuff but there's a simple code I'd like to use on one of my pages.
At the bottom of the page i'd like there to be a 60 second timer that counts down to zero and when it expires I want the timer to change to a hyperlink that you can click on that will take you to another page on the website.
I found some examples but when the countdown timer hits zero it redirects to another page automatically whereas I'd like to the user to click the link to continue on to the next page when they are ready. But I'm not sure how to change the code these sites below give you.

Recurring Countdown Timer - 24hrs And Then Repeats
May 25, 2009I have a script on my website that counts down 24hrs and then repeats. I use it to show a special offer that's valid for 24 hrs!
Unfortunately there appears to be a couple of issues with this script. IE seems to randomly stop working when you refresh the page. Also, when the countdown gets down to the last 10 seconds, it adds "1 days" to the countdown text!
Believe me, I have scoured the internet to find a cross browser script that simply counts down 24hrs and the repeats, but this is all I could find.
Someone may be able to either;
1) recommend a script that counts down from noon (server time) for 24hrs and then re-starts or
2) someone who knows about scripts can have a look at the attached and let me know what might be wrong with it?
Timer On Screen That Will Countdown Specified Number Of Secs
Nov 3, 2009I'm looking for some simple JavaScript to display a timer on screen that will count down a specified number of seconds. If possible it should be nicely formatted (i.e. "X Minutes and X Seconds remaining"), and should display an alert box when there is less than 300 seconds (5 minutes) remaining. I've done a search for something like this, but so far have been unable to find anything suitable.
