I've problem in setting the countdown time, the default countdown is:

var newYear = new Date(); 
newYear = new Date(newYear.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 1); 
$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({until: newYear}); 

I need countdown like below, so show can I convert the above date into below. I just need countdown for 5 mints:

0(days)-0(hours)-4(mints)-60(seconds)

Answer 1

Just use setMinutes and getMinutes like this:

var d = new Date();
d.setMinutes(d.getMinutes() + 5);
$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({until: d});
