simple error

[AConnorABBCO]

I keep getting an error on this script and I don't know why.

function countdown(){
document.clear();
document.writeln("Checked for update at " + time + "<br>Next update in " + count + " seconds.");
count--;
self.setTimeout("countdown();",1000);
}

I call it and it runs through once, runs through a 2nd time, except the text moves down a line, and then it gives me an "Object required" error.

Any help?

You can not use document.write like that. When you use document.write it replaces the content of the page. You should look at adding a span to the page and using innerHTML to change the text.
