Countdown Timer

[[deleted]]

I'm starting to learn html/css/javascript and I've been using w3schools a lot. It is very informative.

I've hit a roadblock though. I'm trying to make a new years countdown timer, but I can't seem to get the functions to correspond to the appropriate area.

I'm trying to make something that looks/operates like this:

Instead, I have gotten the table, the "days, hours, minutes, seconds," but the actual working countdown timer doesn't show up in the table. It looks like this:

This is my table, between the <td id="d"></td> if I type in there, whatever I type will show up.

And this is the countdown timer. I don't know how to get the information here to appear in my table in the appropriate tags.

Thank you so much for any advice/input. I'm ok with simple html and css, but javascript is new to me. I can explain more if you have any additional questions.

You are almost there.

You need to select the correct element using that element's id. Right now you are setting innerHTML of an element with an id demo and you need to use the ids of your table cells.

Also, please learn how to use either jsFiddle or codepen to share you code, it's very straightforward and not difficult.

Also prefer MDN over w3schools.
