javascript timer to show how much passed since certain time

(function() {
var start = new Date;
start.setHours(24, 0, 0);
function pad(num) {
return ("0" + parseInt(num)).substr(-2);
}
function tick() {
var now = new Date;
if (now > start) {
start.setDate(start.getDate() + 1);
}
var remain = ((start - now) / 1000);
var hh = pad((remain / 60 / 60) % 60);
var mm = pad((remain / 60) % 60);
var ss = pad(remain % 60);
document.getElementById('last').innerHTML =
hh + ":" + mm + ":" + ss;
setTimeout(tick, 1000);
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', tick);
})();
I have a code which counts how much time left till certain time. But I need to reverse it and make it show how much time has passed since certain time.

Since we are talking about the future therefore now > start.
Also if now's hh is less than start's hh we should decrement the start's hh.
So the code would be as follows:
(function() {
var start = new Date;
start.setHours(24, 0, 0); // 11pm
function pad(num) {
return ("0" + parseInt(num)).substr(-2);
}
function tick() {
var now = new Date;
if (now < start) {
start.setDate(start.getDate() - 1);
}
var remain = ((now - start) / 1000);
var hh = pad((remain / 60 / 60) % 60);
var mm = pad((remain / 60) % 60);
var ss = pad(remain % 60);
var diff = hh + ":" + mm + ":" + ss;
console.clear();
console.log(diff);
setTimeout(tick, 1000);
}
tick()
})();

Countdown can't be set to more than two days ahead

I have found a javascript code for a countdown timer in the internet and changed it a little bit to use it as I want.. It basically works fine, but as soon as I set the start date to more than 2 days ahead it doesn't to what it's supposed to. If I e.g. set it to three days ahead, as shown in the code below, it doesn't become a 72 hours countdown, but a 12 hours countdown.
I'm not sure whats the problem, because I can set up a 24 or a 48 hours countdown without any issues.
(function() {
var start = new Date;
start.setHours(18, 02, 20);
function pad(num) {
return ("0" + parseInt(num)).substr(-2);
}
function tick() {
var now = new Date;
var weekend = now.getDay();
if (now > start) {
start.setDate(start.getDate() + 3);
}
var remain = ((start - now) / 1000);
var hh = pad((remain / 60 / 60) % 60);
var mm = pad((remain / 60) % 60);
var ss = pad(remain % 60);
var distance = start - now;
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = hh + ":" + mm + ":" + ss
setTimeout(tick, 1000);
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', tick);
})();

The following line is the cause:
var hh = pad((remain / 60 / 60) % 60);
This caps the hours at 60 due to the % 60 (mod 60). 48 hours is less than 60 so it works. 72 hours will get translated to 12 (72 % 60 == 12).

How can I prevent this daily countdown timer from resetting at midnight?

Key variables to keep in mind:
This is set to simulate 11:00 PM.
var bt = "23:00";
This is set to simulate 8:00 AM.
var wt = "08:00";
The desired functionality:
The countdown timer starts every morning at 8:00 AM.
It counts down until 11:00 PM, every night.
Then it stays at 00:00:00.
In the morning, at 8:00 AM, it repeats the count-down, again.
This should happen forever.
What is actually happening:
Everything is working fine, except it is starting a 24 hour countdown at midnight, until 8:00 AM.
I have tried debugging this, and I suspect the error lies in what is calculated as the distance variable, making the code think that it is comparing against the next day, but I am not sure how to remedy this.
Here is the Codepen.
and here is my JS code:
$(document).ready(function () {
var bt = "23:00"; // 11:00 PM
var wt = "08:00"; // 08:00 AM
var dateNow = moment().format('MMM D, YYYY');
placeHolderDate = dateNow + " " + bt;
var timeNow = moment().format('HH:mm');
var countDownDate = new Date(placeHolderDate).getTime();
var countDownHourMin = (wt.split(":"));
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function () {
// Get todays date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
$("#countDown").val(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
// If the countdown is over, write some text
if (hours === 0 && minutes === 0 && seconds === 0) {
//clearInterval(x);
$("#countDown").val("00:00:00");
}
if (hours < 0 || minutes < 0 || seconds < 0) {
//clearInterval(x);
$("#countDown").val("00:00:00");
}
var timeNow = moment().format('HH:mm');
//console.log('Time Now:' + timeNow);
//console.log('Wake Time:' + wt);
if (timeNow === wt) {
clearInterval(x);
restartCountdown();
}
//console.log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
}, 1000);
function restartCountdown() {
//log("restartCountdown Started!");
var bt = "23:00"; // 11:00 PM
var wt = "08:00"; // 08:00 AM
var dN = (moment().add(moment.duration({d: 1})).format('MMM D, YYYY'));
console.log('dn ' + dN);
var placeHolderDate = dN + " " + bt;
var countDownDate = new Date(placeHolderDate).getTime();
var countDownHourMin = (wt.split(":"));
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function () {
// Get todays date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
$("#countDown").val(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
// If the countdown is over, write some text
if (hours === 0 && minutes === 0 && seconds === 0) {
//clearInterval(x);
$("#countDown").val("00:00:00");
}
if (hours < 0 || minutes < 0 || seconds < 0) {
//clearInterval(x);
$("#countDown").val("00:00:00");
}
// console.log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
}, 1000);
}
});

I have edited your code and created this codepen https://codepen.io/anon/pen/aabjEb?editors=0010. Please feel free to optimize the code since I have not done it. The idea was is check if time is between 8 AM and 11 PM. If yes show value else show 00:00:00. Also once the date changes, update the dates and now compute accordingly
$(document).ready(function () {
function countdown() {
var bt = "23:00", // 11:00 PM
wt = "08:00"; // 08:00 AM
var today = new Date(),
dd = today.getDate(),
mm = today.getMonth()+1,
yyyy = today.getFullYear();
var startTime = new Date(mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy + ' ' + wt),
endTime = new Date(mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy + ' ' + bt);
setInterval(function() {
var now = new Date();
var nowdd = today.getDate();
var nowTime = now.getTime();
if(dd !== nowdd) {
dd = nowdd;
var nowmm = now.getMonth() + 1,
nowyyyy = now.getFullYear();
startTime = new Date(dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy + ' wt');
endTime = new Date(dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy + ' bt');
}
if(nowTime > startTime && nowTime < endTime) {
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = endTime - nowTime;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60)),
minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60)),
seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
$("#countDown").val(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
} else {
$("#countDown").val("00:00:00");
}
}, 1000);
}
countdown();
});

javascript countdown from d:h:m:s

I'm new in javascript.
My PHP script returns a value in this format
d:h:m:s
Now I would like to have a countdown which is able to countdown each second from this.
I modified a countdown. This works once a time, after the countdown "ticks" each second it returns NaN all the time. Any idea what I do wrong?
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function() {
$('.countdown').each(function() {
var time = $(this).data("time").split(':');
var timestamp = time[0] * 86400 + time[1] * 3600 + time[2] * 60 + time[3] * 1;
var days = Math.floor(timestamp / 86400);
console.log(time,timestamp);
var hours = Math.floor((timestamp - days * 86400) / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - hours * 3600) / 60);
var seconds = timestamp - ((days * 86400) + (hours * 3600) + (minutes * 60))-1;
$(this).data("time",""+days+":"+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds);
if (hours < 10) {
hours = '0' + hours;
}
if (minutes < 10) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if (seconds < 10) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
$(this).text(days + ':' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds);
});
}, 1000);
})
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1 class="countdown">02:03:05:59</h1>

As far as I can see you have 2 problems here:
after the first execution you change the pattern of the text you display in the h1. First you have 02:03:05:59. Then you want to write 02 days 03:05:58 into the tag. Next time you parse it, you get the error because you split at : and that does not work anymore as you have days instead of : as the seperator for the first part.
When calculating the minutes, you should also substract the days and not just the hours.
When you wan to keep the dd:hh:mm:ss format, you could do it like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function() {
$('.countdown').each(function() {
var time = $(this).text().split(':');
var timestamp = time[0] * 86400 + time[1] * 3600 + time[2] * 60 + time[3] * 1;
timestamp -= timestamp > 0;
var days = Math.floor(timestamp / 86400);
console.log(days);
var hours = Math.floor((timestamp - days * 86400) / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - days * 86400 - hours * 3600) / 60);
var seconds = timestamp - days * 86400 - hours * 3600 - minutes * 60;
if (days < 10) {
days = '0' + days;
}
if (hours < 10) {
hours = '0' + hours;
}
if (minutes < 10) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if (seconds < 10) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
$(this).text(days + ':' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds);
});
}, 1000);
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1 class="countdown">02:03:05:59</h1>

Your snippet goes from dd:hh:mm:ss to dd days, hh hours. So second time around, your tag contains non-parsable text.
I have changed it to something more precise. Something even MORE precise would be to give a timestamp in milliseconds in the future instead of something with seconds since it will take several seconds to render the page. If you round on minutes from the server, it would likely be better.
var aDay = 24*60*60*1000, anHour = 60*60*1000, aMin = 60*1000, aSec = 1000;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.countdown').each(function() {
var time = $(this).data("time").split(':');
var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate()+parseInt(time[0],10))
date.setHours(date.getHours()+parseInt(time[1],10),date.getMinutes()+parseInt(time[2],10),date.getSeconds()+parseInt(time[3],10),0)
$(this).data("when",date.getTime());
});
setInterval(function() {
$('.countdown').each(function() {
var diff = new Date(+$(this).data("when"))-new Date().getTime();
var seconds, minutes, hours, days, x = diff / 1000;
seconds = Math.floor(x%60); x=(x/60|0); minutes = x % 60; x= (x/60|0); hours = x % 24; x=(x/24|0); days = x;
$(this).text(
days + ' day' +(days==1?", ":"s, ") +
hours + ' hour' +(hours==1?", ":"s, ") +
minutes + ' minute'+(minutes==1?", ":"s, ") +
seconds + ' second'+(seconds==1?".":"s.")
);
});
}, 500);
})

How can I convert milliseconds to "hhmmss" format using javascript?

I am using javascript Date object trying to convert millisecond to how many hour, minute and second it is.
I have the currentTime in milliseconds
var currentTime = new Date().getTime()
and I have futureTime in milliseconds
var futureTime = '1432342800000'
I wanted to get difference in millisecond
var timeDiff = futureTime - currentTime
the the timeDiff was
timeDiff = '2568370873'
I want to know how many hours, minutes, seconds it is.
Could anyone help?

const secDiff = timeDiff / 1000; //in s
const minDiff = timeDiff / 60 / 1000; //in minutes
const hDiff = timeDiff / 3600 / 1000; //in hours
updated
function msToHMS( ms ) {
// 1- Convert to seconds:
let seconds = ms / 1000;
// 2- Extract hours:
const hours = parseInt( seconds / 3600 ); // 3,600 seconds in 1 hour
seconds = seconds % 3600; // seconds remaining after extracting hours
// 3- Extract minutes:
const minutes = parseInt( seconds / 60 ); // 60 seconds in 1 minute
// 4- Keep only seconds not extracted to minutes:
seconds = seconds % 60;
alert( hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds);
}
const timespan = 2568370873;
msToHMS( timespan );
Demo

If you are confident that the period will always be less than a day you could use this one-liner:
new Date(timeDiff).toISOString().slice(11,19) // HH:MM:SS
N.B. This will be wrong if timeDiff is greater than a day.

Convert ms to hh:mm:ss
function millisecondsToHuman(ms) {
const seconds = Math.floor((ms / 1000) % 60);
const minutes = Math.floor((ms / 1000 / 60) % 60);
const hours = Math.floor((ms / 1000 / 3600 ) % 24)
const humanized = [
pad(hours.toString(), 2),
pad(minutes.toString(), 2),
pad(seconds.toString(), 2),
].join(':');
return humanized;
}
=

function msToHMS( duration ) {
var milliseconds = parseInt((duration % 1000) / 100),
seconds = parseInt((duration / 1000) % 60),
minutes = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60)) % 60),
hours = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);
hours = (hours < 10) ? "0" + hours : hours;
minutes = (minutes < 10) ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
seconds = (seconds < 10) ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds ;
}

Converts milliseconds to a string in the format hh:mm:ss. Here's my version:
function HHMMSSFromMilliseconds(ms) {
// 1- Convert to seconds:
var seconds = ms / 1000;
// 2- Extract hours:
var hours = parseInt(seconds / 3600); // 3600 seconds in 1 hour
seconds = parseInt(seconds % 3600); // extract the remaining seconds after extracting hours
// 3- Extract minutes:
var minutes = parseInt(seconds / 60); // 60 seconds in 1 minute
// 4- Keep only seconds not extracted to minutes:
seconds = parseInt(seconds % 60);
// 5 - Format so it shows a leading zero if needed
let hoursStr = ("00" + hours).slice(-2);
let minutesStr = ("00" + minutes).slice(-2);
let secondsStr = ("00" + seconds).slice(-2);
return hoursStr + ":" + minutesStr + ":" + secondsStr
}
let timespan = 23570 * 1000;
let formattedTime = HHMMSSFromMilliseconds(timespan);
console.log(formattedTime);

Convert millis to DD(days):HH:MM:SS
function formatTime(timeMS) {
const [MS_IN_SEC, SEC_IN_DAY, SEC_IN_HOUR, SEC_IN_MIN] = [1000, 86400, 3600, 60];
let seconds = Math.round(Math.abs(timeMS) / MS_IN_SEC);
const days = Math.floor(seconds / SEC_IN_DAY);
seconds = Math.floor(seconds % SEC_IN_DAY);
const hours = Math.floor(seconds / SEC_IN_HOUR);
seconds = Math.floor(seconds % SEC_IN_HOUR);
const minutes = Math.floor(seconds / SEC_IN_MIN);
seconds = Math.floor(seconds % SEC_IN_MIN);
const [dd, hh, mm, ss] = [days, hours, minutes, seconds]
.map(item => item < 10 ? '0' + item : item.toString());
return dd + ':' + hh + ':' + mm + ':' + ss;
}

The difference in time is in milliseconds:
Get time difference between two dates in seconds
to get the difference you have to use math.floor()
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_floor.asp
var secDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 1000); //in s
var minDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 60 / 1000); //in minutes
var hDiff = Math.floor(timeDiff / 3600 / 1000); //in hours

var timediff = futureTime - currentTime
long seconds = (long) (timediff / 1000) % 60 ;
long minutes = (long) ((timediff / (1000*60)) % 60);
long hours = (long) ((timediff / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
if(hours>0)
time = hours+" hrs : "+minutes+" mins";
else if(minutes>0)
time = minutes+" mins";
else if(seconds>0)
time = seconds+" secs";

Here is a simple function
function simplifiedMilliseconds(milliseconds) {
const totalSeconds = parseInt(Math.floor(milliseconds / 1000));
const totalMinutes = parseInt(Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60));
const totalHours = parseInt(Math.floor(totalMinutes / 60));
const days = parseInt(Math.floor(totalHours / 24));
const seconds = parseInt(totalSeconds % 60);
const minutes = parseInt(totalMinutes % 60);
const hours = parseInt(totalHours % 24);
let time = '1s';
if (days > 0) {
time = `${days}d:${hours}h:${minutes}m:${seconds}s`;
} else if (hours > 0) {
time = `${hours}h:${minutes}m:${seconds}s`;
} else if (minutes > 0) {
time = `${minutes}m:${seconds}s`;
} else if (seconds > 0) {
time = `${seconds}s`;
}
return time;
}
