I want to implement a timer in DOM but I don’t want to use any Javascript. Is this actually possible?
I already have the code in Javascript but I would like to change it to DOM so that I don’t have to activate JS.
Thanks for any help 😀

The only way to reliably modify the Document Object Model is with JavaScript. DOM is just a structure for accessing parts of a webpage, nothing more.
So unless you have a vendetta against JavaScript and would rather using something like client side VBscript (IE only) you have to use JavaScript.
If you just want to get a similar effect you could try playing with CSS pseudo-elements which I doubt will cover your needs. Also CSS pseudo-elements aren’t really part of the page so there are quirks; pseudo-element text cannot be selected for example.
In short, you must use JavaScript to “use” DOM, its a structure, not a language.
