    Look at the code. its just a stopwatch. Everything work fine. But the problem is the startTime will not initialize at when I press the start button. Instead of its only initialize at the time when I load the page. I had already tried startTime = startTime.getTime()

    Here is the code:

    
<html>
<head>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
    var startTime = new Date();
    var cTimer;


//  [COLOR="SeaGreen"]This function just display the difference 
//  between two times and working fine...[/COLOR]
    function startTimer()
    {
       var currentTime = new Date();
       currentTime.getTime();
       t = (currentTime - startTime)/100;
       min = parseInt(t/600);
       t = t % 600;
       sec = parseInt(t/10);
       dec = parseInt(t % 10);
       document.myForm.timeCounter.value = min.toString()+':'+sec.toString()+'.'+dec.toString();
       cTimer=setTimeout("startTimer()",100);
    }

    function setTimer(obj)
    {
       if(obj.value=="Start")
           { [COLOR="Red"]startTime.getTime()[/COLOR]; obj.value='Stop'; startTimer();}
       else
         { obj.value = "Start"; clearTimeout(cTimer);}
    }




  </SCRIPT>
  </head>

<Body>

 <Form name="myForm">
 <input type="text" name="timeCounter" value="00:00.00" size=8>
 <input type="button" name="stopWatch" value="Start" onclick="setTimer(this)"><br><br>

</Form>
</Body>

</html>

    Yeh its true that parseInt() are used at wrong places.
    Because I want to get the integer part of the resultent value and I don't
    know any other method for doing this.

    But why the getTime() is not effected. I have already
    defined the variable on the top to making it Global. I Just want to initialize it
    by current time value. How come I define it again with startTime=new Date();
