If you haven't done so already, take a few minutes to read up on the
Timer Question. Specifically, there is an option to Show Timer. Depending on your reasons for needing a timer, this out of the box approach may simplify things.
By default the timer doesn't lock into place, but we could probably fix that with a bit of custom css.
Hi Matt, thanks for getting back to me. Yes the countdown timer is ideal, but it does not stay fixed on the page. Know of any code to enable this?
You could use something like this:
.FlipClock {
background-color: #333;
padding: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
margin: 10px auto;
float: left;
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
Place this as custom CSS within the Survey's "Look and Feel" menu. Modify as desired. That should get you going at least.
