It's a nice little timer I coded. Nothing too special but I was kinda bored.

If you think about machine code it's a bunch of 1s and 0s

Anything is possible.

I think it's broken

It pauses for three seconds, then jumps to 2, then it takes anywhere from 1-3 seconds to continue after that :-/

That's actually very weird. Up until I uploaded it was working fine in FF. In IE it works perfect. I am rather confused by it right now. I guess I will play around more.

Edit: I noticed webpost is using a setTimeout function do you think this could be causing a problem in FF?

'All depends on how it's written, what it does, and how slow a connection the user has.

Personally, I'd drop the setTimeout to 1 and then use the date.getTime to update the clock's accuracy. That way you can do milliseconds too if needed.
