Calling functions with setTimeout()
(6 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am having a problem with a countdown. I have made the countdown however the JS to change the HTML refuses to loop. I have a setInterval and I have tried for, while and do loops but none work. I would really appreciate some help.
HTML:
<body>
<center>
<h1> Input the date and time you want to countdown to!</h1>
<form>
Second:<input id="seconds" type="number"><br>
Minute:<input id="minutes" type="number"><br>
Hour:<input id="hours" type="number"><br>
Day:<input id="days" type="number"><br>
Month:<input id="months" type="text"><br>
Year:<input id="years" type="number"><br>
</form>
<button onclick="start()">Calculate!</button>
<h1 id="yearsres"></h1>Years<br>
<h1 id="monthsres"></h1>Months<br>
<h1 id="daysres"></h1>Days<br>
<h1 id="hoursres"></h1>Hours<br>
<h1 id="minutesres"></h1>Minutes<br>
<h1 id="secondsres"></h1>Seconds<br>
</center>
</body>
JS:
function start() {
var myVar = setInterval(test(), 1000)
}
function test() {
console.log("hi");
}
function calculateseconds(sec) {
var year = document.getElementById("years").value;
var month = document.getElementById("months").value;
var day = document.getElementById("days").value;
var hour = document.getElementById("hours").value;
var minute = document.getElementById("minutes").value;
var second = document.getElementById("seconds").value;
var countdownto = new Date(month + " " + day + "," + " " + year + " " + hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second);
var epochto = countdownto.getTime()/1000.0;
var current = new Date();
var epochcurrent = current.getTime()/1000.0;
var epochcountdown = epochto - epochcurrent;
var t = parseInt(epochcountdown);
var years = 0;
var months = 0;
var days = 0;
var i = 1;
if(t>31556926){
years = parseInt(t/31556926); t = t-(years*31556926);
}
if(t>2629743){
months = parseInt(t/2629743); t = t-(months*2629743);
}
if(t>86400){
days = parseInt(t/86400); t = t-(days*86400);
}
var hours = parseInt(t/3600);
t = t-(hours*3600);
var minutes = parseInt(t/60);
t = t-(minutes*60);
document.getElementById("yearsres").innerHTML = years;
document.getElementById("monthsres").innerHTML = months;
document.getElementById("daysres").innerHTML = days;
document.getElementById("hoursres").innerHTML = hours;
document.getElementById("minutesres").innerHTML = minutes;
document.getElementById("secondsres").innerHTML = t;
}
By adding () to your test function you call it. setInterval method takes a reference to the function (name of the function) and interval in milliseconds.
It can be used like this:
function start() {
var myVar = setInterval(test, 1000);
}
Or like this:
function start() {
var myVar = setInterval(function() {
test();
}, 1000);
}
Also if you need to pass parameters to your function you can do it like this:
function start() {
var myVar = setInterval(test, 1000, "First param", "Second param");
}
Remove () from test()
somehow it will work

JavaScript countdown timer with on key press to reset the timer
(1 answer)
Closed 11 months ago.
I have a simple HTML stopwatch logic where I can start and stop the clock with the button click. By clicking on the start button, one can start the timer (shows current time) and update every second. One can stop it by clicking stop button. But if one clicks on start button twice, there is nothing I can do to stop the timer. Below is my code:
var hour = document.getElementById("hoursOut");
var minute = document.getElementById("minsOut");
var second = document.getElementById("secsOut");
var btnStart = document.getElementById("btnStart");
var btnStop = document.getElementById("btnStop");
var waitTimer;
function displayTime() {
var currentTime = new Date();
var currentHour = currentTime.getHours();
var currentMinute = currentTime.getMinutes();
var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds();
hour.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentHour) + ":";
minute.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentMinute) + ":";
second.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentSeconds);
}
function twoDigit(digit) {
if (digit < 10) {
digit = "0" + digit;
}
return digit;
}
function startClock() {
waitTimer = setInterval(displayTime, 1000);
}
function stopClock() {
clearInterval(waitTimer);
}
btnStart.onclick = startClock;
btnStop.onclick = stopClock;
<h1>JavaScript Clock</h1>
<div id="calendarBox">

<p class="timeDisplay">
<span id="hoursOut">00:</span>
<span id="minsOut">00:</span>
<span id="secsOut">00</span>
</p>

<input id="btnStart" type="button" value="START" />
<input id="btnStop" type="button" value="STOP" />
</div>
I have checked some answers in stackoverflow but most solutions uses a for-loop from 0 to 1000 until it finds the interval id and stop all of them using loop. I am confident there should be an elegant solution than that.
// some stackoverflow suggested answer
for (var i = 1; i < 99999; i++)
window.clearInterval(i);
A possible solution is to prevent the problem before it happens. You can place a check on the running timer (Is there a way to check if a var is using setInterval()?).
In this case you could just have a global timer variable var timer = false the with add a check to the start function. Then the stop function will set the timer variable back to false.
function startClock() {
if(!timer){
timer = true
waitTimer = setInterval(displayTime, 1000);
}
else return
}
function stopClock() {
clearInterval(waitTimer);
timer = false
}
when you double click you start a new setInterval(). So you now have two set intervals running. Only problem is you can't access the first one cause you named the second one the same name. Check if waitTimer exists and if it does stop it. see code:
UPDATE: actually you don't even need an if statement. just call stopClock() before you set waitTimer -- code snippet adjusted
var hour = document.getElementById("hoursOut");
var minute = document.getElementById("minsOut");
var second = document.getElementById("secsOut");
var btnStart = document.getElementById("btnStart");
var btnStop = document.getElementById("btnStop");
var waitTimer;
function displayTime() {
var currentTime = new Date();
var currentHour = currentTime.getHours();
var currentMinute = currentTime.getMinutes();
var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds();
hour.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentHour) + ":";
minute.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentMinute) + ":";
second.innerHTML = twoDigit(currentSeconds);
}
function twoDigit(digit) {
if (digit < 10) {
digit = "0" + digit;
}
return digit;
}
function startClock() {
stopClock();
waitTimer = setInterval(displayTime, 1000);
}
function stopClock() {
clearInterval(waitTimer);
}
btnStart.onclick = startClock;
btnStop.onclick = stopClock;

I've a practical assignment for middle school, to make a simple Javascript website. But I keep getting a NaN on my website. I can't figure out why. Mayby some-one understands what I do wrong. Thanks by forehand.
var timer = setInterval(time, 5000);
function time() {
document.getElementById('change').innerHTML = Date();
}
var calculate = setInterval(calcFunction, 5000);
function calcFunction(inputValue, change) {
var answer = Number(inputValue) + 1;
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = answer;
}
<input type="text" id="inputValue">
<p id="answer"></p>
You need the value of the inputValue inside the calcFunction
var timer = setInterval(time, 5000);
function time() {
document.getElementById('change').innerHTML = new Date().toLocaleDateString();
}
var calculate = setInterval(calcFunction, 5000);
function calcFunction() {
var answer = Number(document.getElementById("inputValue").value) + 1;
document.getElementById('answer').innerHTML = answer;
}
time()
calcFunction()
<span id="change"></span><br/>
<input type="text" id="inputValue">
<p id="answer"></p>

function initialise () {
// here im calculating the remind time in (mileseconds) that the button have to be pressed
var attack_timeInput = document.getElementById("attack_time");
var attack_timeParts = attack_timeInput.value.split(":");
var hours = parseInt(attack_timeParts[0],10);
var minutes = parseInt(attack_timeParts[1],10);
var seconds = parseInt(attack_timeParts[2],10);
var mileseconds = parseInt(attack_timeParts[3],10);
var attack_DateInput = document.getElementById("attack_date");
var attack_DateInputParts = attack_DateInput.value.split("/");
var day = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[0],10);
var month = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[1],10);
var year = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[2],10);
var durationInput = document.getElementById("duration");
var durationParts = durationInput.value.split(":");
var hours2 = parseInt(durationParts[0],10)*3600000;
var minutes2 = parseInt(durationParts[1],10)*60000;
var seconds2 = parseInt(durationParts[2],10)*1000;
var duration_mile = hours2+minutes2+seconds2;
var now = new Date();
var new_now = now.getTime();
var full_attack_date = new Date(year, month-1, day, hours, minutes, seconds, mileseconds);
var new_full_attack_date = full_attack_date.getTime();
var delayInputValue = new_full_attack_date - new_now - duration_mile;
function scheduleClick () {
document.getElementById("contentWrapper").innerHTML = 'The attack will start in ' + delayInputValue + 'miliseconds';
var codeString = 'var button = document.getElementById("troop_confirm_go"); setTimeout( function() { button.click(); },' + delayInputValue + ' )';
console.log(codeString);
chrome.tabs.executeScript({ code: 'console.log(document.getElementById("The attack will start ' + delayInputValue + ' miliseconds"))' });
chrome.tabs.executeScript({ code: codeString});
};
scheduleButton = document.getElementById("schedule");
scheduleButton.addEventListener('click', scheduleClick, true);
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initialise, false);
So i have 3 inputs. I calculate the remind time until the button will be clicked. (it works)
But in this part
document.getElementById("contentWrapper").innerHTML = 'The attack will start in ' + delayInputValue + 'miliseconds';
it diplays
The attack will start in NaN miliseconds.
and the button is pressed instantly.
I ckeched also this code:
var p = 1 ; //it's outside the function as the var delayInputValue
document.getElementById("contentWrapper").innerHTML = 'The attack will start in ' + delayInputValue + 'seconds';
and it displays :
The attack will start in 1 miliseconds.
So here is my question, why it can't read and work with the var delayInputValue but i can the var p?
Can i fix it somehow ?
Got it - the initialise() function is called when your DOM content is finished loading. At that point, the user has not entered information into the text fields, so they show as null or undefined. When the code starts running with this data it produces data as NaN since the calculations don't work.
In order for the code to run properly, you need to place the code dealing with data from those fields inside the scheduleClick() function, like so:
function initialise () {
function scheduleClick () {
var attack_timeInput = document.getElementById("attack_time");
var attack_timeParts = attack_timeInput.value.split(":");
var hours = parseInt(attack_timeParts[0],10);
var minutes = parseInt(attack_timeParts[1],10);
var seconds = parseInt(attack_timeParts[2],10);
//var mileseconds = parseInt(attack_timeParts[3],10);
var attack_DateInput = document.getElementById("attack_date");
var attack_DateInputParts = attack_DateInput.value.split("/");
var day = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[0],10);
var month = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[1],10);
var year = parseInt(attack_DateInputParts[2],10);
var durationInput = document.getElementById("duration");
var durationParts = durationInput.value.split(":");
var hours2 = parseInt(durationParts[0],10)*3600000;
var minutes2 = parseInt(durationParts[1],10)*60000;
var seconds2 = parseInt(durationParts[2],10)*1000;
var duration_mile = hours2+minutes2+seconds2;
var now = new Date();
var new_now = now.getTime();
var full_attack_date = new Date(year, month-1, day, hours, minutes, seconds);
var new_full_attack_date = full_attack_date.getTime();
var delayInputValue = new_full_attack_date - new_now - duration_mile;
document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].innerHTML = 'The attack will start in ' + delayInputValue + 'miliseconds';
};
scheduleButton = document.getElementById("schedule");
scheduleButton.addEventListener('click', scheduleClick, true);
};
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initialise, false);
Note that I also removed the miliseconds variable as the inputs I was using included hours, minutes and seconds only. You should also add some code to sanitise inputs to make sure they are in the format you want before calling the function.
Hope that helps
I am trying to make a web page which will allow to set multiple alarms using dynamic element creation property of javascript but I'm not able to get the values of these multiple elements and create a alert on that time.
This is my code so far
<div id="TextBoxContainer">
<!--Textboxes will be added here -->
</div>
<br />
<input id="btnAdd" type="button" value="add" onclick="AddTextBox();" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var room = 0;
var i = 0;
function GetDynamicTextBox(){
return '<div>Alarm ' + room +':</div><input type="number"style="text-align:center;margin:auto;padding:0px;width:200px;" min="0" max="23" placeholder="hour" id="a'+room+'" /><input type="number" min="0" max="59" placeholder="minute" style="text-align:center; padding:0px; margin:auto; width:200px;" id="b'+room+'" /><input type="date" style="margin:auto;text-align:center; width:200px; padding:10px"><input type="button" value ="Set" onclick = "AddAlarm('+room+');" /> <input type="button" value ="Remove" onclick = "RemoveTextBox(this)" />';
}
function AddTextBox() {
var div = document.createElement('DIV');
div.innerHTML = GetDynamicTextBox("");
document.getElementById("TextBoxContainer").appendChild(div);
}
function RemoveTextBox(div) {
document.getElementById("TextBoxContainer").removeChild(div.parentNode);
}
function RecreateDynamicTextboxes() {
var html = "";
html += "<div>" + GetDynamicTextBox() + "</div>";
document.getElementById("TextBoxContainer").innerHTML = html;
room++;
}
window.onload = RecreateDynamicTextboxes;
function AddAlarm(values){
var hour = document.getElementById('');
var minute = document.getElementById('');
var date = document.getElementById('');
}
</script>
To create a notification whenever a given time or state is reached, I think you are looking for setInterval (see reference).
This method allows you to take action at a regular interval and it tries to honor that interval the best it can. It opens to a common mistake if your action can take longer than that interval duration so be careful not using a too short interval. In such case, actions can overlap and weird behavior will occur. You do not want that to happen so don't be too greedy when using that.
For an alarm project, I would recommend an interval of one second.
Example (not tested):
JavaScript
var alarmDate = new Date();
alarmDate.setHours(7);
alarmDate.setMinutes(15);
// set day, month, year, etc.
var ONE_SECOND = 1000; // miliseconds
var alarmClock = setInterval(function() {
var currentDate = new Date();
if (currentDate.getHours() == alarmDate.getHours() &&
currentDate.getMinutes() == alarmDate.getMinutes()
/* compare other fields at your convenience */ ) {
alert('Alarm triggered at ' + currentDate);
// better use something better than alert for that?
}, ONE_SECOND);
To add dynamic alarms, you could put them into an array then have your setInterval iterate over it.
In the long run you will probably get sick of alert and feel the need to use something that doesn't break the flow of your application. There are a lot of possibilities, one being the use of lightboxes that could stack over each other. That way you would be able to miss an alarm and still be notified by the next one.
Hope this helps and good luck!
You forgot the ID attribute on the date input and you were collecting the input elements in AddAlarm instead of their values.
EDIT: To check the alarms you have to store them and check every minute, if the current date matches one of the alarms. I added a short implementation there.

var room = 0;
var i = 0;
setInterval(function() {
var current = new Date();
for (var nr in alarms) {
var alarm = alarms[nr];
console.log("checking alarm " + nr + " (" + alarm + ")");
if(current.getHours() == alarm.getHours()
&& current.getMinutes() == alarm.getMinutes()) { // also check for day, month and year
alert("ALERT\n"+alarm);
} else{
console.log('Alarm ' + nr + '('+alarm+') not matching current date ' + current);
}
}
}, 60000);
function GetDynamicTextBox(){
return '<div>Alarm ' + room +':</div><input type="number"style="text-align:center;margin:auto;padding:0px;width:200px;" min="0" max="23" placeholder="hour" id="a'+room+'" /><input type="number" min="0" max="59" placeholder="minute" style="text-align:center; padding:0px; margin:auto; width:200px;" id="b'+room+'" /><input type="date" style="margin:auto;text-align:center; width:200px; padding:10px" id="c'+room+'"><input type="button" value ="Set" onclick = "AddAlarm('+room+');" /> <input type="button" value ="Remove" onclick = "RemoveTextBox(this)" />';

I am building an activity timer, but the code I have is not working properly. The timer is going ~40% faster than real time. What's going wrong?

clock.js is my repo that might help when used in conjunction with window.setInterval(). Working example included.
Add <script src="https://rack.pub/clock.min.js"></script> to your HTML then call clock.now --> 1462248501241 each time you want a time snapshot. You can add and subtract intuitively from there.
The actual js looks like:
var clock = (function() {
// object to expose as public properties and methods such as clock.now
var pub = {};
//clock.now
Object.defineProperty(pub, "now", {
get: function () {
return Date.now();
}
});
//API
return pub;
}());
var doc = document;
var el = doc.getElementById('output');
window.setInterval(function(){
/// call your function here
el.innerHTML = clock.what.time(clock.now);
}, 500);
