Updating Time Dynamically

[yogi77]

Using VBScript, ASP, SQL Server 7.0

I am trying to display a countdown on screen to the users in the format of "10:34:44 remaining" however, I would like to change this every second (a bit like you see on the auction sites, with times counting down). Can anyone offer suggestions for the best way to perform this? I would really like to perform this client-side rather than tripping round each time.

Any help is much appreciated.

TIA,

function countDown() { var el = document.all.howMany el.innerText--
if (0<=el.innerText) setTimeout(&quot;countDown()&quot;,1000) else {
// Replace following with custom action. el.innerHTML = &quot;Do Action Now&quot;
// The following line is only necessary to reenable the &quot;Go&quot; button
document.all.go.disabled=false; } }
