HTML

Here is a base HTML markup for your timer/stopwatch. Main part of HTML are data attributes for render numbers of years, days, hours, minutes, seconds. Every data attribute isn’t mandatory, TimezZ will recalculate time to smaller numbers.

For example:

• if you don’t have years, a timer will add these years to days
• if you don’t have days, a timer will add these days to hours
• and so on

<div class="timer">
  Years: <div data-years></div>
  Days: <div data-days></div>
  Hours: <div data-hours></div>
  Minutes: <div data-minutes></div>
  Seconds: <div data-seconds></div>
</div>
