So I see a number of ways to display allot of seconds in a (static) hr/min/sec. However, I am trying to produce a visual count down timer:

$('#someelement').html(minCounter + ' minutes ' + ((secCounter == 0) ? '' : (secCounter + ' seconds')));

My counter is reduced inside a SetInterval that triggers ever 1 second:

//.......
var counter = redirectTimer;
jQuery('#WarningDialogMsg').html(minCounter + ' minutes ' + ((secCounter == 0) ? '' : (secCounter + ' seconds')));

//........

SetInternval( function() {
    counter -= 1;
    secCounter = Math.floor(counter % 60);
    minCounter = Math.floor(counter / 60);

//.......

  $('#someelement').html(minCounter + ' minutes ' + ((secCounter == 0) ? '' : (secCounter + ' seconds')));
}, 1000)

It is a two minute counter but I don't want to display 120 seconds. I want to display 1 : 59 (and counting down).

I have managed to get it to work using the above, but my main question is: is there a more elegant way to accomplish the above? (note: I am redirecting once "counter == 0").
