Crimson,

That's awesome you're using the control on your site. This was just a proof of concept and isn't being used as a critical part of any application, so here's my advice:

I would suggest to have the javascript work off of an exact time in the future instead of just counting down. You could use the length of time that is passed in to the control to figure out the time in the future to stop the timer. You could then work off of that time (javascript) and make the javascript figure out the time left on each tick of the timer.

I hope this helps.

PS. although i did some updates on the control

like i set the TimeToEnd as static.. to keep the time on the post back..

and the start of the counter on a function to be called from the form (not on the preRender)..

the problems occurs on the old version also (before my updates)

my friend.. thank you for the nice control.. I implemented in my site..

but after finishing.. i discovered a serious bug..

when the user right click on the page.. or when the PC have some problem.. (like running another program (CPU got busy))
the counter stops..

for example if i was a student in exam.. i can stop the time by opening the context menu of the page..

any suggestions ?
