Hey,
Thanx for that code but i see one problem. It's not gonna work with
multiple countdowns (which i have).
Perhaps i need to send the animate object between the start and stop
actions to be able to stop a certain "animation" (countdown)??
@Michael Geary
i actually have that option working but without displaying the countdown:
var countdown = setTimeout(function(){
form.submit();
}, 5000);
$("body").append("<a href='#'
onclick='clearTimeout("+countdown+");'>cancel</a>");
like that.. but how do i display the number after the "cancel" text?
Thanx to all so far,
Mark
