#Html 5 countdown timers update

Each div has either CSS or javascript attached to it, so if you intend to make any changes just make sure you update all the code as needed to match. The jQuery Countdown timer is an easy-to-use plugin that sets a span to display dHMS countdown on. This is the basic setup I am using to output the clock numbers. If you have jQuery loaded already, you could also use the document.ready function: LogWork countdown timer is simple but effective in displaying the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until a fixed event on your website or social network. We said earlier that the time will be in MM:SS format. We will fill that place with a proper value.

The code is all currently using standard javascript, so if you want to keep it as plain javascript you could add the function call to the body with onload: As you probably noticed, the template includes an empty that’s going to hold the time remaining.

We can do this is a couple different ways. You’ll need to call the getSeconds() function we created in here to start off the timer, but we don’t want to have it begin until the DOM is ready. If (diff > 0) //after countdown timeĭocument.getElementById('days').innerHTML = curday ĭocument.getElementById('hours').innerHTML = ((hours Var diff = parseInt((atime - curtime)/1000) As the name implies, this countdown timer is designed entirely using the CSS3 script and a few lines of HTML5 script are used to make the design perfect. Var atime = countertime.getTime() //countdown time Var curtime = nowDate.getTime() //current time Var countertime = new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(),nowDate.getMonth(),nowDate.getDate(),20,0,0) //20 out of 24 hours = 8pm Var dy = 6 //Sunday through Saturday, 0 to 6 You change that number from within the “countertime” variable, where you see the number 20 in the example code below. So for 8am you would use 8, but for 8pm you would use 20. The hour that it counts down to is using military time so it works on the 24 hour scale. 0 is for Sunday and 6 is for Saturday with all the other days correlating the numbers in between. You would need to change the “dy” variable to a number from 0 to 6. In this demo I have it set to countdown to 8pm on Saturday night.

This code only needs to be adjusted to the time and day of the week that you want the countdown to count towards. Instead of having to change the date that the timer was counting to each week, I wanted to automate it to repeat on a weekly basis without the need for updates. The blog had a weekly newsletter and we wanted the countdown timer to count down the time until the next newsletter was going to be sent out each week. This can be very useful in certain situations as I recently found out when I needed to make a countdown timer for a blog.

While in most instances a regular one-time countdown timer will be all you need, I wanted to go over how to make the more complicated repeating countdown timer.
