I have a problem with settimeout.
When I call the initCountDown method on body's onLoad event. If I call the initCountDown on body's load, the button's code works fine afterwards.
However, if I do not place initcountDown in body's load, the button calls countDown method only once and settimeout does not function.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
