Simple 3-2-1 countdown in javascript/jquery?

Function endCountdown() { // logic to finish the countdown here } function handleTimer() { if(count === 0) { clearInterval(timer); endCountdown(); } else { $('#count_num'). Html(count); count--; } } var count = 3; var timer = setInterval(function() { handleTimer(count); }, 1000) Doesn't use jQuery as much, but should work fine.

Thanks for your response. I tried this, but it's not working. I added an alert here: "else { $('#count_num').

Html(count); count--; alert(count); }" . It goes to 2 but then keeps repeating 2 (never gets to 1). – vee Apr 9 at 20:09 Sorry, I gave handleTimer a parameter but it shouldn't have one.

Try it now (updated answer). – EMMERICH Apr 10 at 12:07.

Var timer = setInterval(function(){ $("#count_num"). Html(function(i,html){ if(parseInt(html)>0) { return parseInt(html)-1; } else { clearTimeout(timer); return "KO! "; } }); },1000); Here is an *example.

You don't need a plugin for this. With JavaScript you can do: var count = 4; function anim() { if (count > 0) { console. Log(count); count--; setTimeout(anim, 700); } else { alert('end of counting') } } anim(); This will countdown from 4 then execute a function when count reaches 0.

I've made a little jquery plugin that does exactly what you desire: plugins.jquery.com/project/countTo https://github. Com/bartrail/jQuery.countTo.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
