Countdown timer starts to count with minus after reaching 0:00

Question

Hello,

I am trying to put a counter which shows the remaining time and automatically redirects to the next page after a certain amount of time. I followed the instructions in the "Timer: Go Onto Next Page Automatically".

First I tried out the version which does not show the time remaining and it worked ok.

Then I replaced the JavaScript code with the expanded code from "Display countdown" and added the HTML code for the remaining time. However then when I start the page it starts the countdown and when it reaches 0:00 instead of going to the next page the counter goes -1:59, -1:58 ... and when it again reaches 00:00 it goes -2:59, -2:58 and so on.

What could I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found it. I put the code from "Display countdown" after the code for the version which does not show the timer (instead of replacing it) and it worked.

Was grappling with the same problem. Maybe add to the instructions here?
