Processing Amount

[SN3]

I'm looking for a javascript that would start with a base of $250,000 and increase $1.67 every second. It is for a financial website that shows how much money they have processed. Anyone?

I'm sure you can get one of these to work.

Sorry I don't have anything specific.

Thanks, but it is not a timer that I need.

[gorillaboy]

Yeah it is.

How?

You can do something like this. I just don't have the time to figure out the rounding and $$$ formatting.

Shouldn't be too hard or this should point you in the right direction. Sorry I can't do the rest right now. Maybe someone else can take it a step further!

It works you just get a number like (250005.01000000004).

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (document.getElementById) {
document.write('<p id="timer">250000</p>');
setInterval("document.getElementById('timer').firs tChild.data = Number(document.getElementById('timer').firstChild .data) + 1.67", 1000);
}
// -->
</script>

Thanks, but the only problem is that it would not keep counting. It needs to start counting and keep counting, all the time.

Js will work, but it will RESET whenever a page with this code on it is displayed.

Flash will work but with the SAME problem as JS.

You can get JS to work but, you will have to pick a date say 1/1/05 for the "starting" 250K. Then add X for each second AFTER it.

Thanks! It works perfectly!

How can I add comas?

Add a format currency function to it.

Here is the modified code with it.

<script language = "javascript">
	
	// PLACE THE START DATE IN THESE VARIABLES
	// EXAMPLE: 1ST AUGUST 2005
	var day = 1;
	var month = 8;
	var year = 2005
	
	// START VALUE IN DOLLARS
	var Start_Value = 250000;
	
	// SECOND INCREMENT IN DOLLARS
	var Increment = 1.67;
	
	// EPOCH DATE
	Then = new Date(0);
	
	// DATE TO START COUNT
	Increment_Start = new Date(year, month-1, day ,0 ,0, 0);
	
	// AND THE DATE NOW
	Now = new Date();
	
	// MAKE UNIX TIMESTAMP FOR NOW
	Millisecond_Timestamp = Now-Then;
	Timestamp = Math.round(Millisecond_Timestamp/1000);
	
	// MAKE UNIX TIMESTAMP FOR START OF COUNT
	Millisecond_Timestamp = Increment_Start-Then;
	Increment_Start_Timestamp = Math.round(Millisecond_Timestamp/1000);
	
	// DIFFERENCE IN SECONDS FROM THE START OF THE COUNT UNTIL NOW
	Difference = Timestamp - Increment_Start_Timestamp;
	
	// DIFFERENCE IN SECONDS MULTIPLIED BY THE INCREMENT (ROUNDED)
	Value_To_Add = Math.round(Difference * Increment);
	
	// ECHO THE RESULT
	document.write('Transactions processed since: ' + day + '/' + month + '/' + year +' = ');
	document.write(formatCurrency(Start_Value + Value_To_Add));
	document.write('<br/>');


function formatCurrency(num) {
	num = num.toString().replace(/\$|\,/g,'');
	if(isNaN(num))
		num = "0";
		sign = (num == (num = Math.abs(num)));
		num = Math.floor(num*100+0.50000000001);
		cents = num%100;
		num = Math.floor(num/100).toString();
	if(cents<10)
		cents = "0" + cents;
	for (var i = 0; i < Math.floor((num.length-(1+i))/3); i++)
	num = num.substring(0,num.length-(4*i+3))+','+
	num.substring(num.length-(4*i+3));
	return (((sign)?'':'-') + '$' + num + '.' + cents);
}
