I'm hopeless at javascript and while working on my site, I thought that instead of just saying the time left to be logged in when you refresh to a new page, I wanted it to change dynamically and accurately. Therefore, I needed a simple Javascript script that takes a set number of seconds (to be determined by the PHP script), counts down, second by second until 0 and automatically redirects to another page, which I'll edit in. If anyone can write this script I'll appreciate it

CODE
function Timer( SECONDS )
{
if( SECONDS == 0 )
{
location.href = "RedirectPage.php";
}
document.getElementById( "Timer" ).innerHTML = SECONDS + " seconds";
setTimeout( "Timer( " + ( SECONDS - 1 ) + " )", 1000 );
}
...
<body onload="Timer( <?php echo $Seconds; ?> );">
{
if( SECONDS == 0 )
{
location.href = "RedirectPage.php";
}
document.getElementById( "Timer" ).innerHTML = SECONDS + " seconds";
setTimeout( "Timer( " + ( SECONDS - 1 ) + " )", 1000 );
}
...
<body onload="Timer( <?php echo $Seconds; ?> );">
Like that?

Shouldn't it be <body<?php if (isset($_COOKIE['login'])) {echo(" onload=\"Timer( " . $loginTimeLeft . " );\"");}?>>?

Here's what I have:
In Mainpage.php. Body tag:
Echoed further on:
and the function:
It appears the same as it did before, not counting down. There is no secondary counting down meter next to the static one, as could haver happened, just no change.
And yes, the function is embedded.

CODE

You are logged in " . $loginTimeLeftGrammarModifier1 . "<span id=\"timeLeftCountdown\"><b>" . $loginTimeLeft . "</b></span>" . $loginTimeLeftGrammarModifier2 . "</font>

Oops. I really should learn these PHP5 tricks, much less room for errors like this. Thanks a lot, works perfectly.
