Re: possible java script question

Hi Paul,

The text box was an example of displaying the data. The data is the variable
"timeLeft." The function decrements the variable and displays it (in this
case) in a text box. How you display the value of the variable is up to you.
In other words, I didn't intend for you to simply copy and paste it.
Apparently, you pasted it into the <head> section of your document. I'm not
sure why. In any case, an "input type=text" text box belongs inside a form.
A script can be anywhere in an HTML document.

Just use that Software engineer inside you to take my example, and create
your own implementation of it, based upon the principles illustrated, and of
course, obeying the rules of HTML.
