need help with second countdown

Posted 05 October 2010 - 02:15 AM

I'm currently making a mafia game in php and im creating a crimes page, however i'm stuck on the crimes page because I can't figure out how to implement a seconds countdown. what im trying to do is when a crime is commited the countdown will start for a certain amount of seconds then when the countdown finishes you will be able to commit the crime again.

so I hope some could show me how to do this, it would be a big help.

Thanks

This is my crimes page so far hope you can help.

You can critisize me all you like, you need to show some effort, read the forum rules, you might get somewhere asking questions but help me. I dont know much about javascript so i cannot help you. I had done this before but all i can remember was on the html body tag you had to put onload with a setTimeout function there.
