I am trying to figure out how to display the output of this timer script I found online within another script. Here is the timer script I found:
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2022 15:37:25").getTime();
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function() {
// Get today's date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
// Display the result in the element with id="demo"
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h "
+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
// If the count down is finished, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
}
}, 1000); <!-- Display the countdown timer in an element -->
<p id="demo"></p>
I want to be able to display the timer where I put "I want to display the timer here".
<div class="flash-infos">
<div class="flash-info">
<font color="white"; font size = 2; ><b>"I want to display the timer here"</b></font> <center>
</div>
</div>
The answer is:
<b id="memo"></b>
Alright so I am assuming that you are using id="demo" in your "p" tag as well as "font" tag. So the former takes precedence. Just keep id="demo" here:
<div class="flash-infos">
<div class="flash-info">
<font font size = 2; ><b id="demo"></b></font> <center>
</div>
</div>
And remove any other id="demo" that you have used in other parts of HTML. Notice I have removed color="white", not sure if it syncs with the default background color. Try setting a different color if white may be the case.
