Please help [html]
Hello 
I am currently doing my coursework and have encountered a problem, I have created a timer and whenever i press the button the timer stops, I was wondering how to get the timer to run again with a DIFFERENT button press? (Another button to start the timer)
(The code I use to stop the timer)
<input type="button" onclick="clearTimeout(timer)" value="Stop">

Do you want to start the timer from zero, or resume from when it stopped?
Just make a value and set it to 0. When the value reaches 2, which indicates a second press (add 1 to the said value each time button clicked)
use if/else so that when the value's set to 2, run the function again and set the value to its original state.

You dun goofed. If I were you, i'd delete this fast.
You should also use "setInterval()" to recall the function after a certain amount of time.

I'm pretty sure exam moderators look here from time to time.
A few weeks ago my boy in CS classes got DQ'd for posting his code on stackoverflow.
Just PM people and send your code, just to be safe.

So you're on task 4 right?
Wasn't task 3 the one where you click the button and it changes, and task 4's the one where it automatically does?
Use set interval outside of the function where you change it, and it should call the function automatically after the given time.

Yes. Then use setInterval and get rid of those stop/start buttons.
It's so much easier and it's 1 line of code.
