Simple Countdown Timer

Matt

Hi guys,

I have googled all day and come up with nothing, can anybody provide me with full code for a countdown timer?

All I want is that when I press a button a timer will start, the time will be displayed in a label and countdown from 30 seconds. Then once it hits 0 it will stop.

Can anybody provide me with that code please?

Not sure exactly what you want to do but normally a timer would be better using client side code (ie javascript) otherwise you'll be holding onot the server connection during the timer events.
The Java script code is a follows:
```
function countdown(){
   count--;
   writenumber(count);
   if (count>0){
       Id = window.setTimeout("countdown();",1000);
   }
}

The 1000 represents a 1 secong delay

Hope this Helps,
