Hello, I've currently got an mp3 player made, and I need some help with an addon. I'm trying to make a script that starts at 0:00 when a link is clicked, and stops when a set-time is reached.

Example: Link is clicked, timer starts at 0:00 and counts up to the end of the song which would be at 4:00. When the timer hits 4:00, I want it to stop, and do no more counting past 4:00. Then, when another link is clicked, clear the 4:00 spot and start back at 0:00 and count up to the end of that song.

If anyone would help me put that together, rather than tell me useless garbage like "it can be done in javascript" or "you should use the onClick function," I'd greatly appreciate it. Bye.

you should use the setTimeout and clearTimeout functions. lol! jk. u really do need to use them though. i made an example for you

Code:

  
 
var count = 0;  // Set the count
var the_timeout;  // Declare the timeout
function timer()
{
window.document.form_1.the_text.value = count; // Declare the form value is the count
the_count += 1;
the_timeout = setTimeout("timer();", 1000);
}
function clearIt()
{
clearTimeout(the_timeout);  // Clear the timeout
}
if {
count == 240;  // 240 seconds is 4 minutes...
clearTimeout(the_timeout);
}

And then add the html button looking like this:

<form name="form_1" method="post">
<input type="text" name="the_text"><br /><br />
<input type="button" onClick="timer();"><br />
<input type="button" onClick="clearIt();">
</form>

Now this isn't EXACTLY what you wanted because it doesn't start at "0:00", but it has the basic idea to it. hope it helps!
