Simple Heartbeat Timer
//----- HEARTBEAT TIMER -----
function heartbeat_timer_tick() {
}
setInterval('heartbeat_timer_tick()', 1000 ); //Time in mS
Note that if the web browser tab is put in the background values of setInterval < 1000 will be changed to 1000 by browsers such as chrome to improve performance for the active tab.
A Timer You Can Stop
//----- TIMER -----
var my_timer_count = 10;
var my_timer = setInterval('my_timer_tick()', 1000); //Time in mS
function my_timer_tick() {
my_timer_count = my_timer_count - 1;
if (my_timer_count <= 0)
{
document.getElementById('my_message').innerHTML = "Competed";
clearInterval(my_timer); //Stop the timer
return;
}
document.getElementById('my_message').innerHTML = "Seconds to go: " + my_timer_count;
}
