Question

I have JSON data like this

[
"00-00-02":"first one",
"00-00-04":"the second",
"00-00-09":"third",
.
.
]

How I can display for example: first one in the specified time 00-00-02 and then display the next at its time 00-00-04?
Note: I should do that using javascript

@Geek Num 88 suggests the right way to do it. In such cases usually unix timestamp is used. In case you can’t change the json, you can do something like this

var data = {
"00-00-02":"first one",
"00-00-04":"the second",
"00-00-09":"third"
}
var timeout;
var start = new Date();
function showIt(){
    var now = new Date();
    var diff = now - start;
    var hh = Math.floor(diff / 600000);
    hh = (hh < 10)?"0" + hh : hh;
    var mm = Math.floor((diff % 3600000) / 60000);
    mm = (mm < 10)?"0" + mm : mm;
    var ss = Math.floor((diff % 60000 ) / 1000); 
    ss = (ss < 10)?"0" + ss : ss;

    if(data[hh + "-" + mm + "-" + ss]){
       console.log(data[hh + "-" + mm + "-" + ss]);
    }

    clearTimeout(timeout);
    timeout = setTimeout(showIt, 1000);
}


showIt();
