JavaScript timer for a quiz

rated 0 times [ 17] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 19987 / 7 Years ago, thu, june 1, 2017, 12:00:00

I am making a quiz game for a project in HTML and JavaScript. On every question, the player has 15 seconds to answer. I managed to do it like this:

<body onload=setTimeout(Timer,15000)>

and then in Js:

function Timer()

    {

         alert(You are out of time!);

    }

However, I want to be able to display how much time the player has left in a <p> tag. How could I do that?

<div id=count>Start</div>

var count = 15;

var interval = setInterval(function(){

  document.getElementById('count').innerHTML=count;

  count--;

  if (count === 0){

    clearInterval(interval);

    document.getElementById('count').innerHTML='Done';

    // or...

    alert(You're out of time!);

  }

}, 1000);
