Question

If I have the variables below

$(document).ready(function() {
    var minsecond = 1;
    var maxseconds = 4;
    var updateinterval = 1;
    var interval = updateinterval*1000;
    window.setInterval(function(){
    var currentseconds = ; //value increasing by 1 every var updateinterval (value) in seconds  from var minsecond value until it reaches var maxseconds and resetting to var minsecond value and cycling again
    $("span").html(currentseconds);
    }, interval);
});
​

How do I create a counter which starts at value of var minsecond and goes up by 1 every var updateinterval in seconds to the value var maxsecond and then restarting at var minsecond

How about this:

var maxseconds = 4;
var updateinterval = 1;
var interval = updateinterval * 1000;

var counter = 1;

window.setInterval(function() {
    $("span").html(counter);
    counter = (counter % maxseconds == 0) ? 1 : counter + 1;
}, interval);​
