title: How do I reset timer on Javascript?
body: <p>I have this timer on my website and I use the script below to change the date and time. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to make some edits so it automatically resets every day at 12am. </p>
  
  <p>Also, I want the script to check the time on the client side and reset depending on the time of the user.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please help?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
  // set the date we're counting down to
  var target_date = new Date("Nov 23, 2016 0:00:00").getTime();
  
  // variables for time units
  var days, hours, minutes, seconds;
  
  // get tag element
  var countdown = document.getElementById("countdown");
  
  // update the tag with id "countdown" every 1 second
  setInterval(function () {
  
  // find the amount of "seconds" between now and target
  var current_date = new Date().getTime();
  var seconds_left = (target_date - current_date) / 1000;
  
  // do some time calculations
  days = parseInt(seconds_left / 86400);
  seconds_left = seconds_left % 86400;
  
  hours = parseInt(seconds_left / 3600);
  seconds_left = seconds_left % 3600;
  
  minutes = parseInt(seconds_left / 60);
  seconds = parseInt(seconds_left % 60);
  
  // format countdown string + set tag value
  // countdown.innerHTML = days + "d, " + hours + "h, "
  // + minutes + "m, " + seconds + "s";  
  $('.days').html(days)
  $('.hours').html(hours)
  $('.minutes').html(minutes)
  $('.seconds').html(seconds)
  
  
  }, 1000);
  &lt;/script&gt;
