How to convert display to mins:secs instead of secs in a timer?

Hi all! I have this javascript timer which counts down the number of
secs that i put in and then then redirects my page, what i want to know
is how to i modify the code so that i can input the number of seconds
and this creates a DISPLAY of the form MM:SS (minutes:second s)? Which i
feel is more aesthetically pleasing to the intended users of the site.

Kind regards
Marc

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
var start=new Date();
start=Date.pars e(start)/1000;
var counts=100; //NUMBER OF SECONDS TO COUNTDOWN FROM
function CountDown(){
var now=new Date();
now=Date.parse( now)/1000;
var x=parseInt(coun ts-(now-start),10);
if(document.for m1){document.fo rm1.clock.value = x;}
if(x>0){
timerID=setTime out("CountDown( )", 100)
}else{
location.href=" redirect.php"
}
}
window.setTimeo ut('CountDown() ',100);

<script type="text/javascript">

var s = 15;
var href = 'http://localhost/';
var interval = null;

function display() {
var min = parseInt(s/60);
var sec = s - (60 * min);
document.getEle mentById('displ ay').innerHTML =
min + ' minutes, ' + sec + ' seconds';
}

function redirect() {
s--;
display();
if (!s) {
clearInterval(i nterval);
location = href;
}
}

window.onload = function () {
display();
interval = window.setInter val('redirect() ', 1000);
}

</script>

....
You are redirected in:
<span id="display">-- minutes, -- seconds</span>

Deprecated.
var start=new Date();
start=Date.pars e(start)/1000;
That first gets the date as an Object, then a String, them parses it to
its fields, then converts to Number.

var start = new Date()/1000 // or new Date().valueOf( )/1000

is simpler, though it does preserve the fractional part, which
Math.floor() or |0 will remove (|0 until 2038-01-19 03:14:08 UT IIRC).

var counts=100; //NUMBER OF SECONDS TO COUNTDOWN FROM
function CountDown(){
var now=new Date();
now=Date.parse( now)/1000;
Ditto.
var x=parseInt(coun ts-(now-start),10);
That subtracts Numbers (which are integer value here), converts to
String, and converts back again. Omit use of parseInt.
if(document.for m1){document.fo rm1.clock.value = x;}
And what if not?
if(x>0){
timerID=setTime out("CountDown( )", 100)
}else{
location.href=" redirect.php"


if (x<=0) location.href=" redirect.php"
should suffice.
Replace document.form1. clock.value = x
with s = x%60 ; m = (x-s)/60
document.form1. clock.value = m + (s>9?":":":0") + s
to get M:SS.

Trying to convert timestamp data to date data (without the time in hours/mins/secs), does only seem to work with TO_DATE(mydate; 'yyyymmdd'). But I do not want a string, but a real date like 29-03-2005. How do I get it like that? Thanks, Bob

I have been creating a generic countdown timer (source code below), counting the seconds, minutes, hours and days till an event, but I have having trouble with it finding out how many hours are left.

I have a timer on a form. It isn't firing at all. I know that the timer is enabled, and that the interval is low (4000, which should be 4 seconds). To ensure the timer wasn't being inadvertantly reset I put some extra code in the subs that enable and disable the timer. They fire as expected. To test this I added a second timer with a 1 second interval. The event for this time would output the enabled status of the first timer and its...
