How to create a counter in JQuery

Below is a tutorial on how to create a counter with JQuery.

A counter can be useful when you want an event to take place within a certain time frame. For instance, you want your visitors to see a message after 10 seconds. That's what this tutorial is going to focus on.

First, add your JQuery library.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

function counter(time) {

var interval = setInterval(function() {

time = time - 1;
$("#container").html("Seconds Remaining: " + time);

},1000);

}

$(document).ready(function() {

counter(10);


});

</script>

<div id="container"></div>
