I've been scouring google and multiple forums for an answer to this, and nothing really 'hit the nail on the head' as far as what I am trying to do.What I have is a game server status window in an iframe on my site, which is already set to auto refresh every 30 seconds. (It was a task in itself to get rid of the refresh flicker btw)Now, the problem is, people coming to the site don't know 'when' the 30 seconds started, even though it starts when they enter the site. This is causing confusion and many questions (even though they can just wait the 30 seconds and watch it change).
I found a forum on dynamicdrive that had a script which counted down, but the counter didn't reset to 30 seconds, which made it pretty much useless.All I want it to say is "next refresh in 30 seconds" under the iframe window, and count down.Beings as the php file that the iframe is linked to already starts timing itself upon page entry, I just need a timer that displays a countdown that also starts on page entry. I just want to show people that it will be refreshing when the timer hits "0".Is this possible? I've spent 4 hours trying different scripts and nothing does what I want (they either refreshed the entire page, or the timers wouldn't restart), so I am starting pretty much from scratch with this, and I am throwing this to the masters.
I have created a javascript count down timer to be used in asp.net. Basically, I create a countdown time for user to register (20 mins). If the countdown is around 5 min (that means the user is inactive for 15 min) then generate confirm box asking whether the session has to be active. If the user clicks ok, then we reset the time. If cancel is clicked, we proceed with the timer countdown till it reaches zero and logged out. IF he does not do any action, the countdown timer will proceed and logged out.
The problem is: Whenever the confirm box is popped up, the timer counter stops the counting. And If user does not click on either button and remain inactive for more than 5 min (by 5 min, the user should be logged out) there is nothing done that means, the counter stops countdown and the user is not logged out. Is there anywhere to determine in javascript whether a confirm box is popped up?
I want to add simple countdown timer for 30 sec 0r 60 sec,the time will display on the page to the users with countdown, if user is not respond with in this time, the page will be automatically redirects to the specified page.
I am in need of a functionality for a system where in there PHP mysql system having a table bid which has columns(bid_product, "createtime")basically if the user does not bid for the product within 20 hours the bid will close for this i need to display a timer which keeps counting till 20 + hours of the create time, After a long search for timers i finally found a .Js which would work just fine for static values within the .js script when i tried to pass values from my database the timer does not change on itself but each time i have to refresh to check the time left.
I'm trying to make a count-up timer that counts to 100 or 1000 then adds 1 to another number.i would like the timer speed to be adjustable if possible.
I'm trying to make a countdown timer, it works fine if I define the value myself from where it has to start. However, when I try to take output from the user it says undefined and 'Nan'.Basically my problem is that if I give c a value like c = 30. it works fine. But when I try to take the input , it gives an undefined error.
im trying to build a auction system where by it will have a count down time and when users bid on the item it will extend for about 15 secs for each bid but how do i make it in ajax way of like httprequest to merge with countdown timer? like when users bids it will add the time to the existing countdown timer and after that the page will not refresh but it will refresh it in the back end?
I'm trying to adapt a script I found online for a timer that goes in my webpage. The timer counts from 30 seconds down to 0. I've adapted it so that when it reaches 0 it goes back up to 30, but I was wondering how can I make it so that after a certain number of loops through the timer, it executes some other (non-JS) code instead of just doing the timer forever?I've introduced a variable t to try to do this, but when I put in if(t>1) {break} at the bottom, the timer doesn't work properly anymore (it doesn't display a number in the box).
I'm currently trying to make an accurate stopwatch and count-down timer. So far, I've just worked on the stopwatch, but it is inaccurate due to the calculation time of the Javascript. A more accurate method would perhaps be to compare the starting time and the current time, where the times are retrieved using the Date object. However, using this method I am not sure how to start/stop the timer (eg. I stop it at 1:00 and then start it again 5 minutes later, and it continues from the time it stopped - 1:01, 1:02, etc.). Code:
As I am new to java scripts, I usually solve thing with trial and error. What I need is a very simple java script for a count down timer, after searching here I found this:
<font style="font-size:72px" color="#FF0000" face="Arial"> <script type = "text/javascript"> var page = "[URL]"; //The page to redirect to function getSeconds() { startTimer (3); // 36 hours } .....
I modified some stuff, as I defined the font face and size, the color as well, and I added a var to open a certain page when the time is over (as I said before, all these modifications came right with trial and error). So, is that script good? or are there better scripts that do the same job? Any script that does the same functionality of the script I mentioned but instead of showing digits it shows: 01 minutes 31 seconds
What im trying to do is have a count down timer count down to the same time every day. For example, if i set it to count down to July 9th 2010 8:00pm. At 8pm i want it to pause or wait for 30 min. During that time i want it to display some text. After that 30min is up i want to reset it to count down to the same time the next day. (July 9th 2010 8:00pm) ect. I figgured maybe adding 23 1/2 hours to it but i dont even no how to reset this thing, let alone change the time it counts down to.Im not asking any one to do this for me (though i wouldnt hate it) but i really need some direction. All i really think i know is that some functions nned to be placed n the "Else - (if variable = 0) then ........." Here is the javascript im using (it works but does not reset) it also takes some information from php:
Code:
// Here�s where the Javascript starts countdown = <?=$diff?>; // Converting date difference from seconds to actual time function convert_to_time(secs)

I have built a basic website that contains an iframe in the middle, called "iframe1". In this iframe I wish to load an external message board from proboards.com. In my code I can easily do this by making a button or hyper-link with the href="http:proboards.com/myforums" and the target="iframe1".When I do this it will load inside of it the iframe jsut as I want it to. However, my the problem is when you click on the button to login its coded to target "_top" and it opens on the entire page replacing the whole website. If i run firebug (a real time HTML editor). I can easily locate and change the link code to target="iframe1". But How can I write a script in javascript in my webpage code to do this as soon as the iframe has loaded the external messageboard?
I'm trying to code a website that's built around an iframe (as in, the nav bar links to content which appears in a central iframe). Now, in one of my pages I've got links that are supposed to open a small text block when they're clicked.
how to do this using either divs or the DHTML window widget [URL], but in both cases the tab appears inside the iframe, and it's pretty cramped. I want to position it relative to the parent window, not the iframe, but so far haven't been able to figure out how to do this.

I am trying to refresh a page at a 30 second interval with a function called timeout(). I tested my code with a message, and it worked fine. When I replaced it with a php script to refresh the page, nothing happened. I was not sure if this question belongs here or under the php forums. I thought I'd try here first. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this? Code:
Im not sure where to find all the documentation i need for this? I need to timer since a start button has been pushed, and show a counter on a page. If they click stop i want to keep the time, and carry on incrementing it if they click start again.
Any suggestions on code, or reference material for this?

I 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.
