I am making an online exam and want to incorporate the timer script given in the link below.I have incorparated the script in an html file written below but the timer doesn't show up when I run the html file.Assuming the timer script is correct,can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here.Am I calling the timer script incorrectly or something?
This is the timer script

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
//The exact script from the above site is given in bold here
//There is probably not an error with the script given in bold
var hour = 0;
var mins = 0;
var secs = 0;
function initializeExamTimer(remainingTimeInSeconds) {
hour = Math.floor(Math.max(remainingTimeInSeconds/(60*60), 0));
var secsLeft = remainingTimeInSeconds % (60*60);
mins = Math.floor(Math.max(secsLeft/60, 0));
secsLeft = secsLeft % 60;
secs = secsLeft;
displayRemainingTime();
setTimeout("updateRemainingTime()", 1000);
}
function updateRemainingTime() {
var examFinished = false;
if (secs > 0) secs--;
else {
if (mins > 0) {
secs = 59;
mins--;
}
else {
if (hour > 0) {
secs = 59;
mins = 59;
hour--;
}
else {
hour = min = sec = 0;
examTimedOut();
examFinished = true;
}
}
}
displayRemainingTime();
if (!examFinished) setTimeout("updateRemainingTime()", 1000);
}
function displayRemainingTime() {
var hourStr = hour < 10? "0" + hour: hour;
var minsStr = mins < 10? "0" + mins: mins;
var secsStr = secs < 10? "0" + secs: secs;
var time = hourStr + ":" + minsStr + ":" + secsStr;
var remainingTimeSpan = document.getElementById('remainingTime');
remainingTimeSpan.innerHTML = time;
