Question

Im making a countdown timer and I want the time to refresh every second. Im using setInterval but it only seems to be running once instead of every second. What is wrong with my code?

var countDown = setInterval(function(){
$('#days').val(daysLeft);
$('#hours').val(hoursLeft);
$('#minutes').val(minLeft);
$('#seconds').val(secLeft);   
},1000);

You need to recalculate the time left within the interval, otherwise you’ll continue to set it to the same value.
