Question

I have created a timer to be used as a reference on a alert when the timer reaches exactly 5:00 pm/ 17:00. Do you have any ideas how could I do that? Do I check the time once in a while?

Here’s how I create my timer.

 <script language="JavaScript">
    var tick;

    function stop() {
        clearTimeout(tick);
    }

    function usnotime() {
        var datetoday = document.getElementById("datenow")
        var currentDate = new Date()
        var day = currentDate.getDate()
        var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1
        var year = currentDate.getFullYear()
        datetoday.val("" + month + "/" + day + "/" + year + "");

        var txt = document.getElementById("timeticker")

        var ut = new Date();
        var h, m, s;
        var time = "      ";
        h = ut.getHours();
        m = ut.getMinutes();
        s = ut.getSeconds();
        if (s <= 9) s = "0" + s;
        if (m <= 9) m = "0" + m;
        if (h <= 9) h = "0" + h;
        time += h + ":" + m + ":" + s;
        txt.innerHTML = time;
        tick = setTimeout("usnotime()", 1000);
    }
    //--> document.rclock.rtime.value=time;   tick=setTimeout("usnotime()",1000);    }  //-->
</script>

<tr>
    <td class="tdlabel">Current Time:</td>
    <td>
        <div id="timeticker" name="rtime" size="22"></div>
    </td>
</tr>

And it seems that my timer is not displaying. Any ideas??

You have a mistake, you mixed javascript and jquery.

 datetoday.val("" + month + "/" + day + "/" + year + "");

Should be (assuming datetoday is a textfield. If div use innerHTML instead of value)

datetoday.value="" + month + "/" + day + "/" + year + "";

and add just before the closing script tag

window.onload=function(){
    usnotime();
}
