Error in javascript timer / countdown

[epaisley]

I've been playing around with this script, and i got this timer to start at 3 min but I can't get it to count down! Any suggestions? I've been racking my brain on this for awhile....hopefully some new eyes will help!

Thanks

I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you would get more people to help you debug your code if you put it in the vbCode 'CODE' tags (the # button on the toolbar) That way all the tabulation is preserved, and word-wrap is disabled. Because I can't scan the code and see it's logical structure in this format. Please re-post it and I'll be certain to help you

Sorry for the rookie like mistake, i wasn't having any problem with tabulation or word wrap and didn't think that someone else would...my bad! Hope this helps!!! Thanks
