Question

I am tryin to create a simple counter that counts backwards from 3 to 0 or 5 to 0 or whatever.

It’s a timer for a questions so each number needs to be visible to the user.

I tried:

for (i=3;i>=0;i--){

   $(".timerInner").delay(500).text( i );

}

But had no luck.

Answer 1

Try this,

var i =5;

var timer = setInterval( calltimer, 500);

function calltimer(){
    $(".timerInner").append( i );

    if(i == 0){
       clearInterval(timer);
    }
    i--;

}
