Countdown Clock - Convert Resulting Milliseconds To Back To Time Format ?
Apr 28, 2009
teaching myself javascript. my current self-challenge is to write a countdown clock that will tick off the days, hours, minutes, seconds until a certain date.i'm thinking that this should be what's happening in the javascript:
get current date/time (using new Date())
get future date/time counting down to (using new Date(2009,7,7))
subtract current from future (Math.ceil(movie.getTime - today.getTime))
convert resulting milliseconds to back to time format (not sure how to do that yet)write result back to html page (not sure how to do that yet, either)loop the whole thing every 1000 milliseconds.is this a workable idea? it seems the most straightforward way of doing it, but other scripts i've found on the web seem much more complicated.
Does JavaScript have an easy of converting an ordinary integer like 135 into a time format like 02:15? I'm working on a timer that handles the backend with just a plain integer that counts down every second but it needs to output looking like a clock.
I'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.
I'm really struggling to write a bit of JS that displays the amount of time left to when your order will be shipped.For Example: If it's
1:05pm on Sunday, it would say: "Place your order within the next 1 day 2 hours 55 minutes and your order will ship Monday"
Another example: If it's 2:00pm on Saturday, it would say: "Place your order within the next 2 hours and your order will ship today"
I need to be able to change the cut off point from 4pm if needed...It must also ignore bank holiday (Ideally, it would have a section in the code where I could put all 'excluded' dates, e.g. 12/25/2009, 01/01/2010, etc. - This way I could keep it up to date).The code must take into account that we only deliver Monday to Friday (Therefore on a Friday after 4pm, it would not say delivery tomorrow, but Monday).Once the deadline hits (4pm), the countdown jumps back up to accommodate tomorrow's deadline, etc.Amazon does a very similar thing,
I know I'm missing something about GMT stuff, the problem is that I don't know what exactly If I follow this steps I wont get the real time (for my country) but 2 h 5 m later. Where is the mistake? You can try the code under this lines:
Code: var Cdate = new Date(); var Smiltotal = Date.UTC(Cdate.getFullYear(), Cdate.getMonth(), Cdate.getDate(), Cdate.getHours(), Cdate.getMinutes(), Cdate.getMilliseconds()); var Pdate = new Date(Smiltotal); var Smonth = Pdate.getMonth()+1;
I am looking for a simple countdown clock that displays a countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds. I do have one on my sites's CPanel, but I don't really like the look of it. I'm not really looking for anything specific, if it looks good then I'll use it.
I wondered if anyone knows where I can get a countdown clock from?
I've got some code off of the web I'm using on my website, it is a javascript clock, it works fine in firefox and thats it, I would like to get it working in at least IE.
I'm trying to make a countdown clock and it works, except only when you load it. After it's loaded it just displays the time from when you got there. Is there a way to make it run every second? I tried setTimeout("countDown()",1000) But I can't seem to get it to work. I have found others that work but they only go to one date, and I need one that restarts every Sunday.
I am new at web development and am just getting aquainted with JaveScript. I have seen a countdown clock on another web site and wouldl like to code the same on my web site. I have been through the [URL] javascript tutorial and could not find any reference to that specific code. I'm sure it is somewhere in the date functions. how to code a countdown clock?
Im having trouble implementing a countdown clock from within a php page. I am using the countdown clock from dynamic drive. It works well if I have the javascript in the php page, but when I move it to an external js file clock.js it gives an 'invalid date'. Does it have something to do with the php tags inside the function ? below is the code.
All I need is a simple countdown clock where I can input a random total number of seconds from a variable and it will display a countdown containing days, hours, minutes and seconds.
For example:
input: 95500 seconds Output: 1d 2h 31m 40s
I would like this to be like a live "ticker" so the clock goes down without having to reload the page.
I'm trying to sort a countdown clock for my website: [URL] 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 [URL] I havn't used .js much
I have scoured the net and found nearly what I'm looking for, but not exactly, and I don't really know javascript, so trying to piece together bits of code hasn't worked. What I need is the script for a live clock with date and time format exactly as follows: Sunday, 07 June 2009, 24:00:00 (GMT+1).I have two separate files with the following code, which gets me close to what I need: Sun Jun 07 19:05:48 2009 Obviously the time is in the wrong place and it doesn't show GMT+1. These are the scripts:
Code: function update() { time = Date();[code]....
I do have the countdown script (see link below) to display the time between current time and the date given in real-time. However, I want to achieve to display the time difference between a given start and end time. Right now, it calculates from the current server time to the end time. I want to be able to set up my own start time and end time.
I am trying to convert data from one format to another. Starting with
Code: X:1 T:Speed the Plow M:4/4 C:Trad.
[Code]....
I am assuming I will have two textareas in a form, the data are copied from a clipboard to one of them and split into an array on newline characters. On the last few lines the letters A-G or a-g may or may not be preceded by _, =, or ^ and may or may not be followed by a comma or apostrophe then a (or not) number. The lack of a space after a letter indicates a grouping (beaming).
Does anyone have an example of some parsing code? Just something that looks at the input byte by byte building a token, putting a character back if it belongs to the next token and handling the end of the line and end of data. If someone has a parser for anything, I think I could adapt it.
I modified a function I got from someone from this forum. It looks for date in the format "2011-09-15" and should convert it to "Sep 15 2011".It is not working. It is displaying the input itself.[code]
I need to convert a string containing the time to a real time value so I can insert it in to a time column in my database. tempElapsed = "1:22:33:44:555"
var _tempElapsedHours = tempElapsed.substring(2,4); var _tempElapsedMinutes = tempElapsed.substring(5,7); var _tempElapsedSeconds = tempElapsed.substring(8,10); var _elapsed = Date.parse(new Date(_tempElapsedHours,_tempElapsedMinutes,_tempElapsedSeconds));
The result of elapsed is -1.4243e+012, I was hoping for a time value of 22:33:44
There are probably a million threads about time conversion, but I cannot find the answer to my problem. So I'm making it a million and one...
I have my date/time stamps stored in UTC (ie number of second since the Unix Epoch). How do I convert this to a definable local time in JavaScript? With definable I mean any local time, not necessarily the machine local time.
In PHP I would do it as follows:
Code: $utc = time(); // current UTC $timezone = "America/New_York"; date_default_timezone_set($timezone); echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $utc);
The above would give the current date/time in New York. I would like to be able to do this in JavaScript for any time given in UTC.
I want to make a switch statement that will display something different depending on the time of day. Once I saw something like getTime (?), but it relied on the user's clock. I know that you would expect me to at least research getTime so that I'm asking about something more specific, but I don't think it's what I need because I want mine to give the same result regardless of the viewer's time zone or how off thier clock is.
How can I draw a cookie where number of chocolate chips represents the number of seconds and the number of bites represents the number of minutes.
I want to show the passage of time on a clock that looks like items are being added to the display according to the number of seconds and minutes. Maybe using a mouse input aswell
Here is a short javascript for a real time analgoue clock. It is designed to resemble some LCD clocks where the hands "fill" in the dial as they move around the face. You can change to values of the "top" and "left" style attributes to position the clock anywhere on your page.
