countdown with tracking time

Yannick Benoit

Hi everyone.
I want to create a script which post a form with fields to fill in but with
a timer so that if the person fills the form in 10 seconds he gets a
specific score but if its in 20 then the score is lower etc...

I can put on a countdown or timer using javascript but i dont know how to
grab the time from that timer and post it with the form.

Anyway can help ?

Thanx

Don't. Trust the time on the webserver, not the time given by that
javascript counter.

(By "time on the webserver" I mean "store the time when the page has been
served the last time to that user, and compare it against the time when the
data has been submitted").

Don't ever rely on user inputted data. Specially if that data come from
javascript stuff. It can be easily tampered with.

Countdown Timer problems

by: Bonnett | last post by:

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. When i get it to display a complete countdown (days hours mins seconds left) it is one hour short when counting dates that fall in the following time brackets: 2004,2,29 -> 2004,9,31 2005,2,28 -> 2005,9,30 2006,2,27 -> 2006,9,29 etc..

Countdown timer inaccurate - losing time!?!

by: Christine | last post by:

I've implemented a countdown timer for a tutorial web page that should give the user 45 minutes to complete the test, only to find that the timer is slowly 'losing' time. On average, it actually takes an extra 35 seconds, but has taken an extra 2.5 minutes in some cases. Any ideas what might be the cause? And more importantly - the fix? Code snippet below... Thanks, Christine

Hi! I'd like to implement a countdown timer on a webite. It should show the months, days, hours, minutes and seconds until a given date and time. So far it's not really difficult, but this website will be used from different time zones, what will make a difference of 10 hours, if I use the time-information from the client. The event will take place at one fixed moment which is worldwide the same. Does anyone know a way to solve this...
