Simple counter

JavaScript
1

Can anybody tell what i am doing wrong?
The counter dosn´t work as it i supposed to. I would like for the counter to count to 6 seconds before the messageDIV is closed.

i am by no means a javascript GURU so bare with me :slight_smile:

function joomlaMessage()
{
var systemMessage, messageDiv, c, count;

systemMessage = document.getElementById(‘system-message’);
messageDIV = document.getElementById(‘MessageJoomla’);
c = 0;

if(systemMessage !=null)
{
if(c < 6)
{
messageDIV.style.display = ‘block’;
count=c+1;
messageDIV.innerHTML = "The window will close in " + count + “Seconds”;
setTimeout(“joomlaMessage()”, 1000);
}

else 
   {
               joomlaMessageClose();
   }
   
}

}

you set your counter to 0 every time you call the function.

Yes problem was solved when i removed c=0 from function.
Very stupid of me
