Build a Countdown Timer using javascript
AVAILABLE Time Formats
The ISO 8601 format: var deadline = '2015-12-31';
The short format: var deadline = '31/12/2015';
Or, the long format: var deadline = 'December 31 2015';
Each of these formats allows you to specify an exact time (in hours minutes and seconds), as well as a time zone (or an offset from UTC in the case of ISO dates).
For example: var deadline = 'December 31 2015 23:59:59 GMT+0200';
function getTimeRemaining(endtime) {
var t = Date.parse(endtime) - Date.parse(new Date());
var seconds = Math.floor((t / 1000) % 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((t / 1000 / 60) % 60);
var hours = Math.floor((t / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);
var days = Math.floor(t / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
return {
'total': t,
'days': days,
'hours': hours,
'minutes': minutes,
'seconds': seconds
};
}
function initializeClock(id, endtime) {
var clock = document.getElementById(id);
var daysSpan = clock.querySelector('.days');
var hoursSpan = clock.querySelector('.hours');
var minutesSpan = clock.querySelector('.minutes');
var secondsSpan = clock.querySelector('.seconds');
function updateClock() {
var t = getTimeRemaining(endtime);
daysSpan.innerHTML = t.days;
hoursSpan.innerHTML = ('0' + t.hours).slice(-2);
minutesSpan.innerHTML = ('0' + t.minutes).slice(-2);
secondsSpan.innerHTML = ('0' + t.seconds).slice(-2);
if (t.total <= 0) {
clearInterval(timeinterval);
}
}
updateClock();
var timeinterval = setInterval(updateClock, 1000);
}
var deadline = new Date(Date.parse(new Date()) + 15 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
initializeClock('clockdiv', deadline);
