Answer 1

If you want to use a counter for an ajax send, and you wantit to be correct, it's a lot of code, but using the right library could save you 95% of the code.

I use jquery, and have done some cheesy ajax timers, and seen some wildly beautiful timers!

so the answer is YES, and I've done it!

Answer 2

Here's a basic javascript counter that you can use.
