Question

afternoon,

I am using the following countdown for a quiz app i am writing.

 var count = 60;
    countdown = setInterval(function(){
    $("p.countdown").html(count + " seconds remaining!");
    if (count == 0) {
        $('#QuizQuestions').hide();
        $('#QuizFail').show();
        $('.anscountFail').html("Sorry, you ran out of time!");
    }
    count--;
    }, 1000);

Once all the questions have been answered, i then do

 $('p.countdown').remove();

to remove the p.countdown. My question is how come the page still goes to the fail page, even with this removed? and how can i stop the countdown if all questions have been answered?

Many thanks,

Answer 1

you should also clear interval:

clearInterval(countdown);
