how can i add a coundown timer of say 30 sec . since i am using a coundown timer which is not working as i require. i got two pages and when i run the code, the timer already started and running in background on page 1 and in page 2 there is no countdown timer showing. i dont know how to achieve my task of showing countdown timers like a game timer for my 2 pages...
Untested, but is it something like this one? <script> var counter = 30; counterID = setInterval( function(){ counter--; if (counter >0){ //do something here } else clearInterval(counterID); }, 1000); </script> HTML:
You need to really be more clear in what you post. It's vague but from what I understand , you are trying to retain the countdown timer value from page1 into page2? That means you need some sort of communication between the 2 pages. If it's a parent-pop down system , then it's not that difficult. You could also use window object , but it's an unsecure way. You can accomplish this by using some server side scripting , say PHP , by doing a polling ajax request in javascript , but that might causelag. The new HTML5 api provides a method but not all browsers support it. Last , you can use cookies which is the old fashioned way. Take a look at this , it might help : http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/i...tion-between-browser-windows-tabs#post3662701 http://davidwalsh.name/window-postmessage
