Question

I’m looking for an existing plugin (before I bother writing it) that counts down in days, hours, minutes, and seconds to a specific time, then upon reaching 0 begins to count up from it. Nothing fancy, just text is fine.

An existing tutorial or closely related project works as well.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You could use http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html which can count down and up.
You’ll have to change manually though

$('#countdown').countdown({
    until: liftoffTime, 
    onExpiry: function(){
        var startTime = new Date();
        $('#countdown').countdown({since: startTime});
    }
});
