How can I convert seconds to minutes in jQuery while updating an element with the current time?
- by pghtech
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").
