How to properly set jquery countdown timer

Question

I am using jquery countdown timer. The timer runs up to 12 hours, after which it does not work. When I give the parameters in a 24-hour format, the timer runs after 12 noon, but not earlier. Where am I mistaken?

jQuery(function () { jQuery('#countDowntimer').countdown({ until: jQuery.countdown.UTCDate(+330, '#{time.year}', '#{time.month}', '#{time.date}', '#{time.hours}', '#{time.minutes}', '#{time.seconds}', 0), compact: true, onExpiry: liftOff}); }); Date startDate = 'Sep 23 14:00:00'; Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTime(startDate); calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1); StartTime time = new StartTime(); time.setYear(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)); time.setMonth(calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)); time.setDate(calendar.get(Calendar.DATE)); time.setHours(calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR)); time.setMinutes(calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE)); time.setSeconds(calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND)); 

Answer 1

jQuery.countdown.UTCDATE uses a 0-based index for the month, while Calender uses a 1-based index. Try updating the code where you are updating your month so that:

time.setMonth(calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) - 1);
