Hi All,

I am developing a stop watch and I wanted to know if anyone has any idea how to keep executing the stop watch timer even after the browser's window is closed.

E.G.: it is 00:01:15 when the browsers windows is closed. When reopened after 30 minutes I want to see the time something like 00:31:15.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Jason

Solution 1

store the starttime in a database table and when reopening, read the value from it and have the timediff calculated and displayed in your website.

Solution 3

You could store the starttime in a cookie or on server side. When you reopen the site you can read that value and calculate the elapsed time.
