Countdown timer - for seconds?

[wvccboy]

Hey all,
I need a countdown timer from 10 to 0, which stops once reaching 0.

For some reason I couldn't find any of this on search engines or sites, but it seems pretty simple to me..

Any ideas? Thanks!
Jay

what do you want the page to do @ 0 ?

nothing, just stop... it's part of a timing script.. a online game.

Thanks

ok cool


<div id="counterDiv">
<form name="counter"><input type="text" size="3" name="number">&nbsp;seconds</form>
</div>

<script>
var countdownfrom=10 // seconds to countdown
var currentsecond=document.counter.number.value=countdownfrom+1
function counter()
{
if (currentsecond!=1)
{
currentsecond-=1
document.counter.number.value=currentsecond
}
else{
// if you really don't want it to do anything then delete the line below
document.getElementById("counterDiv").innerHTML = "Nothin to do"
return
}
setTimeout("counter()",1000)
}
counter()
</script>
