I am doing a quiz application and I would like to know what’s the way to go about creating a timer for the quiz?

Currently I am going to display all the quiz questions on one page and have a main timer like 30minutes counting down and also to record the time taken when the user clicks submit.

In the future I might add in multipage quiz and also time taken for individual questions.

Any advice on what tools to use and structure would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Couldn’t find a nice simple example, so I just wrote my own (tested in FF only):

    <html>
<head>
    <title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <input id="time" readonly="true"></p>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        seconds = 0;

        function elapse()
        {
            seconds += 1;
            document.getElementById('time').value = seconds.toString();
        }

        setInterval(elapse, 1000);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

    You’ll want to tweak it, probably: If you don’t want to show the elapsed time, you can use a hidden field; if you do, you’ll want to format it a bit better. But it’s something to work with.

    Hope that helps!
