JS CountDown no reload on refresh please

Well my code should be working but it isn't. Each time I reload the time, my Countdown start back at his initialised value.
Since I'm not familliar with JS you may be able to m'éclaircir the mind
<script>
var upgradeTime = 172801;
var seconds = upgradeTime;
function timer() {
var days = Math.floor(seconds/24/60/60);
var hoursLeft = Math.floor((seconds) - (days*86400));
var hours = Math.floor(hoursLeft/3600);
var minutesLeft = Math.floor((hoursLeft) - (hours*3600));
var minutes = Math.floor(minutesLeft/60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
function pad(n) {
return (n < 10 ? "0" + n : n);
}
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = pad(days) + ":" + pad(hours) + ":" + pad(minutes) + ":" + pad(remainingSeconds);
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(countdownTimer);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = "Completed";
} else {
seconds--;
}
}
var countdownTimer = setInterval('timer()',1000,function() {
secondPassed();
if (seconds === 0) {
eraseCookie(seconds);
} else {
createCookie(seconds, seconds, 7);
}
});
</script>
How do I call it
<h1>Server Release in : <span id="countdown" class="timer"></span></h1>
I just want my timer to not refresh each time you reload the page.
Any kind of help would be appreciated

Here you go.
var upgradeTime = 172801; //Timer length in ms
var timerMS = window.localStorage.getItem("date");
startTimer();
function timer() {
var difference = timerMS - Date.now();
if (difference <= 0) {
startTimer();
return;
}
var seconds = (difference / 1000).toFixed(0),
days = Math.floor(seconds / 24 / 60 / 60),
hoursLeft = Math.floor((seconds) - (days * 86400)),
hours = Math.floor(hoursLeft / 3600),
minutesLeft = Math.floor((hoursLeft) - (hours * 3600)),
minutes = Math.floor(minutesLeft / 60),
remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
function pad(n) {
return (n < 10 ? "0" + n : n);
}
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = pad(days) + ":" + pad(hours) + ":" + pad(minutes) + ":" + pad(remainingSeconds);
setTimeout(timer, 1000);
}
function startTimer() {
if (!timerMS || timerMS < Date.now()) {
timerMS = Date.now() + upgradeTime;
window.localStorage.setItem("date", timerMS);
}
timer();
}

add a counter in a multiple choices with javascript

I am currently developing an e-learning website with php
I want to add a script to make a counter growing by 40 s for each question of a multiple choice.
that's what I did but it's just a simple counter that don't make any action after the time is left:
<span id="countdown" class="timer"></span>
<script>
var seconds = 4;
function secondPassed() {
var minutes = Math.round((seconds - 30)/60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
if (remainingSeconds < 10) {
remainingSeconds = "0" + remainingSeconds;
}
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = minutes + ":" + remainingSeconds;
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(countdownTimer);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = "Buzz Buzz";
} else {
seconds--;
}
}
var countdownTimer = setInterval('secondPassed()', 1000);
</script>-->
  if time passes then he goes on to the next question.

Write a function which provide next question. If your next question is in other page, use window.location.href = urlOfNextQuestion; in nextQuestion function. If you have an array of questions and you have a counter for them, replace current question with new one.
var seconds = 4;
function secondPassed() {
var minutes = Math.round((seconds - 30) / 60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
if (remainingSeconds < 10) {
remainingSeconds = "0" + remainingSeconds;
}
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = minutes + ":" + remainingSeconds;
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(countdownTimer);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = "Buzz Buzz";
nextQuestion();
} else {
seconds--;
}
}
var countdownTimer = setInterval('secondPassed()', 1000);
function nextQuestion() {
// window.location.href = urlOfNextQuestion;
alert("here we go");
// You have an index of current and next question and show new question
}
<span id="countdown" class="timer"></span>

how to reset Javascript minute countdown timer

I found this vanilla JS count down timer that really suits my needs.
http://jsfiddle.net/wr1ua0db/17/
`<body>
<div>Registration closes in <span id="time">05:00</span> minutes!</div>
function startTimer(duration, display) {
var timer = duration, minutes, seconds;
setInterval(function () {
minutes = parseInt(timer / 60, 10)
seconds = parseInt(timer % 60, 10);
minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
display.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds;
if (--timer < 0) {
timer = duration;
}
}, 1000);
}
window.onload = function () {
var fiveMinutes = 60 * 5,
display = document.querySelector('#time');
startTimer(fiveMinutes, display);
};
I am looking for a reset function that I could assign to buttons or events. I mean a function that would NOT stop the timer... just reset it back to 5:00 ... so it would automatically go to 4:59... 4:58 ... etc

If you move timer variable to parent scope you'll have access to it from other functions. Then you can reset it in a function called resetTimer. See below:
var timer;
function startTimer(duration, display) {
timer = duration;
var minutes, seconds;
setInterval(function () {
minutes = parseInt(timer / 60, 10)
seconds = parseInt(timer % 60, 10);
minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
display.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds;
if (--timer < 0) {
timer = duration;
}
}, 1000);
}
function resetTimer() {
timer = 60 * 5;
}
window.onload = function () {
fiveMinutes = 60 * 5,
display = document.querySelector('#time');
startTimer(fiveMinutes, display);
};
Here is a fiddle

Try this one. It starts a timer on load and gives you the ability to reset to the initial state.
<style>
#reset:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
<div>Time left = <span id="timer">05:00</span><span id="reset" title="Reset Timer"> ↺</span></div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var upgradeTime = 300; // seconds
var seconds = upgradeTime;
function timer() {
var days = Math.floor(seconds / 24 / 60 / 60);
var hoursLeft = Math.floor((seconds) - (days * 86400));
var hours = Math.floor(hoursLeft / 3600);
var minutesLeft = Math.floor((hoursLeft) - (hours * 3600));
var minutes = Math.floor(minutesLeft / 60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
function pad(n) {
return (n < 10 ? "0" + n : n);
}
document.getElementById('timer').innerHTML = pad(minutes) + ":" + pad(remainingSeconds);
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(countdownTimer);
document.getElementById('timer').innerHTML = "Completed";
document.getElementById('reset').style.visibility = 'hidden';
} else {
seconds--;
}
}
var countdownTimer = setInterval('timer()', 1000);
// function resetTimer() {
// seconds = upgradeTime;
// }
$("#reset").click(function() {
seconds = upgradeTime;
});
</script>

Use something like addEventListener and call the named function.
(function() {
'use strict';
let reset = document.getElementById('reset');
reset.addEventListener('click', function() {
alert('reset');
//add here the function name to call them.
})
})();
<button id="reset">Reset</buton>

Having multiple countdown timer events intervals in javascript

I am trying to create a multiple countdown timers using Javascript.
Facing issues with displaying the time and setInterval cleartInterval events of Javascript.
My code is on jsfiddle: here
Javascript:
function secondPassed(row, secs) {
var seconds = secs;
var minutes = Math.round((seconds - 30)/60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
if (remainingSeconds < 10) {
remainingSeconds = "0" + remainingSeconds;
}
document.getElementById('countdown'+row).innerHTML = minutes + ":" + remainingSeconds;
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(countdownTimer[row]);
document.getElementById('countdown'+row).innerHTML = "Buzz Buzz";
} else {
seconds--;
}
}
var countdownTimer = [];
function timer(row, min) {
var seconds = min * 60;
countdownTimer[row] = setInterval('secondPassed('+row+','+seconds+')', 1000);
}
timer(1, 3);
timer(2, 2);
timer(3, 5);
HTML:
Timer 1: <span id="countdown1" class="timer"></span>
<br/>
Timer 2: <span id="countdown2" class="timer"></span>
<br/>
Timer 3: <span id="countdown3" class="timer"></span>

There are a couple problems here.
First, the syntax for setting a timer function with parameters is wrong. See Pass parameters in setInterval function.
Second, you need to store the remaining seconds for each timer somewhere.
var timerData = [];
function secondPassed(row) {
var seconds = timerData[row].remaining;
var minutes = Math.round((seconds - 30) / 60);
var remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
if (remainingSeconds < 10) {
remainingSeconds = "0" + remainingSeconds;
}
document.getElementById('countdown' + row).innerHTML = minutes + ":" + remainingSeconds;
if (seconds == 0) {
clearInterval(timerData[row].timerId);
document.getElementById('countdown' + row).innerHTML = "Buzz Buzz";
} else {
seconds--;
}
timerData[row].remaining = seconds;
}
function timer(row, min) {
timerData[row] = {
remaining: min * 60,
timerId: setInterval(function () { secondPassed(row); }, 1000)
};
}
timer(1, 3);
timer(2, 2);
timer(3, 5);

Why is this JavaScript timer crashing my web page?

So I'm trying to put together a timer to count down to a specific time on a specific day. I found some code to work with online and adapted it to this
var Timer;
var TotalSeconds;
function CreateTimer(TimerID, Time)
{
Timer = document.getElementByID(TimerID);
TotalSeconds = Time;
UpdateTimer()
window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
}
window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
function Tick()
{
if (TotalSeconds <= 0)
{
alert("Time's up!")
return;
}
TotalSeconds -= 1;
UpdateTimer()
window.setTimeout("Tick()", 1000);
}
function UpdateTimer()
{
var Seconds = TotalSeconds;
var Days = Math.floor(Seconds / 86400);
Seconds -= Days * 86400;
var Hours = Math.floor(Seconds / 3600);
Seconds -= Hours * (3600);
var Minutes = Math.floor(Seconds / 60);
Seconds -= Minutes * (60);
var TimeStr = ((Days > 0) ? Days + " days " : "") + LeadingZero(Hours) + ":" + LeadingZero(Minutes) + ":" + LeadingZero(Seconds)
Timer.innerHTML = TimeStr + " until my birthday!";
}
function LeadingZero(Time)
{
return (Time < 10) ? "0" + Time : + Time;
}
When I start it up on my web page it crashes the page. I know the problem is not how I link it to the HTML because I tested this code on http://writecodeonline.com/javascript/ and it did not work there either. Any advice?
