    copied!<p>Hello Guys and Gals, I am trying to have (1) a javascript countdown function (2) a countdown function that accepts a php variable target date(e.g. 4 seconds after the user clicks 'start') (3) an onclick() to run both the stopstart() and updateAlarmTime() functions.</p> <p>This is what I use for base code: <a href="http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/" rel="nofollow">http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/</a></p> <p>On my main php page I have:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="js/stopwatch.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;?php $alarmsecond2=4; ?&gt; &lt;form name='stopwatch'.... &lt;input type='button' onclick='stopstart()' onfocus='this.blur()' name='startstopbutton' id='startstopbutton' ... value='Start'&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>stopstart() works as written above, updateAlarmTime() works if I use pulldown select menus to set the time variable, e.g. $alarmsecond2, but I don't want that.</p> <p>I tried calling stopstart() and updateAlarmTime('') with one onclick(), but only stopstart executes. I also tried calling a function to call both stopstart() and updateAlarmTime() with onclick() but that also didn't work.</p> <p>In stopwatch.js I have:</p> <pre><code>function stopstart() { t[t[2]]=(new Date()).valueOf(); t[2]=1-t[2]; if (0==t[2]) { clearInterval(t[4]); t[3]+=t[1]-t[0]; document.getElementById("startstopbutton").value="Start"; document.getElementById('split').innerHTML+= (t[7]++)+' Stop: '+format(t[1]-t[0])+'&lt;br&gt;'; t[4]=t[1]=t[0]=0; disp(); firstsplitflag = 0; } else { document.getElementById("startstopbutton").value="Stop"; t[4]=setInterval(disp, 43); } //GA urchinTracker('http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/conversions/stopstartbutton'); } function updateAlarmTime() { var hour1 = alarmhour1; var hour2 = ahour2; var minute1 = aminute1; var minute2 = aminute2; var second1 = asecond1; var second2 = asecond2; var second_10th = asecond_10th; var second_100th = asecond_100th; var second_1000th = asecond_1000th; alarmTime = (hour1 + hour2 + minute1 + minute2 + second1 + second2 + second_10th + second_100th + second_1000th); } </code></pre> <p>How do I accomplish my three objectives?</p> <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
