how can you make it so when you click a button it starts to count down and then not start again after you click it a second time

This code is close, but you forgot that you have to address a dynamic textbox using .text.. to get this code to work try this: tm=10; displayTime.text = tm; countDown = function () { tm--; displayTime.text=tm; if (tm==0) { clearInterval(timer); } }; timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);
