JS random order showing divs delay issue

I got function within JS which is supposed to show random order divs on btn click.
However once the btn is clicked user got to wait for initial 10 seconds ( which is set by: setInterval(showQuotes, 10000) ) for divs to start showing in random order which is not ideal for me.
JS:
var todo = null;
var div_number;
var used_numbers;
function showrandomdivsevery10seconds() {
div_number = 1;
used_numbers = new Array();
if (todo == null) {
todo = setInterval(showQuotes, 10000);
$('#stop-showing-divs').css("display", "block");
}
}
function showQuotes() {
used_numbers.splice(0, used_numbers.length);
$('.container').hide();
for (var inc = 0; inc < div_number; inc++) {
var random = get_random_number();
$('.container:eq(' + random + ')').show();
}
$('.container').delay(9500).fadeOut(2000);
}
function get_random_number() {
var number = randomFromTo(0, 100);
if ($.inArray(number, used_numbers) != -1) {
return get_random_number();
} else {
used_numbers.push(number);
return number;
}
}
function randomFromTo(from, to) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (to - from + 1) + from);
}
Question: How to alter the code so upon the btn click divs will start showing right away without initial waiting for 10 seconds? (take in mind I want to keep any further delay of 10 seconds in between of each div being shown)
Thank you.

Call it when you begin the interval
todo = setInterval((showQuotes(),showQuotes), 10000);

Loading/Buffering text while loading audio in html5 custom player with JavaScript

I found a custom html5 audio player and successfully redesigned it, now I want to add a "loading/buffering" text while player is loading audio (otherwise users may freak out because nothing happening after they hit play).
Here is the code to explain:
function calculateTotalValue(length) {
var minutes = Math.floor(length / 60),
seconds_int = length - minutes * 60,
seconds_str = seconds_int.toString(),
seconds = seconds_str.substr(0, 2),
time = minutes + ':' + seconds
return time;
}
function calculateCurrentValue(currentTime) {
var current_hour = parseInt(currentTime / 3600) % 24,
current_minute = parseInt(currentTime / 60) % 60,
current_seconds_long = currentTime % 60,
current_seconds = current_seconds_long.toFixed(),
current_time = (current_minute < 10 ? "0" + current_minute : current_minute) + ":" + (current_seconds < 10 ? "0" + current_seconds : current_seconds);
return current_time;
}
function initProgressBar() {
var player = document.getElementById('player');
var length = player.duration
var current_time = player.currentTime;
// calculate total length of value
var totalLength = calculateTotalValue(length)
jQuery(".end-time").html(totalLength);
// calculate current value time
var currentTime = calculateCurrentValue(current_time);
jQuery(".start-time").html(currentTime);
var progressbar = document.getElementById('seekObj');
progressbar.value = (player.currentTime / player.duration);
progressbar.addEventListener("click", seek);
if (player.currentTime == player.duration) {
$('#play-btn').removeClass('pause');
}
function seek(evt) {
var percent = evt.offsetX / this.offsetWidth;
player.currentTime = percent * player.duration;
progressbar.value = percent / 100;
}
};
function initPlayers(num) {
// pass num in if there are multiple audio players e.g 'player' + i
for (var i = 0; i < num; i++) {
(function() {
// Variables
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// audio embed object
var playerContainer = document.getElementById('player-container'),
player = document.getElementById('player'),
isPlaying = false,
playBtn = document.getElementById('play-btn');
// Controls Listeners
// ----------------------------------------------------------
if (playBtn != null) {
playBtn.addEventListener('click', function() {
togglePlay()
});
}
// Controls & Sounds Methods
// ----------------------------------------------------------
function togglePlay() {
if (player.paused === false) {
player.pause();
isPlaying = false;
$('#play-btn').removeClass('pause');
} else {
player.play();
$('#play-btn').addClass('pause');
isPlaying = true;
}
}
}());
}
}
initPlayers(jQuery('#player-container').length);
Player code (source) on CodePen
I want some text will be shown in the same "span" that shows
"start time" (please see CodePen) while media is loading;
The text " 'loading.' 'loading..' 'loading...' " must changing on
loop while media is loading;
When it is loaded the "loading" text must be changing on "start
time" as it is now.
So basically I wat to put some text in start time while it is not shows anything but zeroes
I'm new to JS
Thats why I need some help or point to right direction

You can use the "readyState" event of the audio player to show hide loading.
There is already a "SetInterval" even which is getting fired so in that we can add this code to show/hide the "Loading"
1st add the loading element(You can put it where ever you want"
<h3 id="loading" style="display:none;">Loading</h3>
Now let's add the code to check "readystate" inside "SetInterval"
if(player.readyState>0&&player.readyState<4){
$("#loading").show();
}
else{
$("#loading").hide();
}
You can read more about "readystate" here
/As per the request I have changed the code to use the start time as loading, to make it work we don't have to add anything inside html but need to do some changes in JS
First, add this inside "togglePlay" functions pay condition in the "else" block.
$(".start-time").html("Loading...");
After this inside "initProgressBar()" function replace the "jQuery(".start-time").html(currentTime);" with the below code
if (player.readyState === 4) {
jQuery(".start-time").html(currentTime);
}
so how it will work, When you click play button the start time text will show as "Loading" but once the file is loaded and the player is ready to play the text will be changed to "start time", Hope it works. Also updated the CodePen for better understanding
You can find the full code in the CodePen

You could use setInterval to cycle through the different 'loading' text and clearInterval when the player's play promise is done.
Here's a basic example:
var dots = 1;
var loading = setInterval(function(){
dots = (dots % 3) + 1;
$(".start-time").text("Loading" + Array(dots + 1).join("."));
console.log($(".start-time").text());
}, 250);
player.play().then(function() {
clearInterval(loading);
}).catch((error) => {
$(".start-time").text("Error loading");
});

How do I record multiple time values, one after another

I have an issue with printing 5 different values one after another. My code is supposed to work like this:
The user presses the the start button, the timer begins, then the user presses the stop button, the timer stops and the time that has passed is printed below. The user does that 5 times and each entry below is supposed to have a different time value based on how fast the user was. (e.g. "1. you took 2.3 seconds. 2. you took 1.7 seconds. etc.).
My code seems to print the first time value, but when I couldn't get it to work with the second attempt, I've tried adding if statements to check if the first inner html label is filled, but that didn't work.
Here is my code:
var status = 0; //0:stop 1:running
var time = 0;
var f = 0;
var s = 0;
var t = 0;
var f = 0;
var f2 = 0;
function start() {
status = 1;
document.getElementById("startBtn").disabled = true;
timer();
if (f = 0) {
f + 1;
} else if (f > 0) {
s + 1;
}
}
function stop() {
if (f = 1) {
document.getElementById("first").innerHTML = time + 1;
f++;
}
if (s = 1) {
document.getElementById("second").innerHTML = time + 1;
s++;
}
status = 0;
document.getElementById("startBtn").disabled = false;
}
function reset() {
status = 0;
time = 0;
document.getElementById('timerLabel').innerHTML = '00:00:00';
document.getElementById("startBtn").disabled = false;
}
function timer() {
if (status == 1) {
setTimeout(function() {
time++;
var min = Math.floor(time / 100 / 60);
var sec = Math.floor(time / 100);
var mSec = time % 100;
if (min < 10) {
min = "0" + min;
}
if (sec >= 60) {
sec = sec % 60;
}
if (sec < 10) {
sec = "0" + sec;
}
document.getElementById('timerLabel').innerHTML = min + ":" + sec + ":" + mSec;
timer();
}, 10);
}
}
<div class="container">
<h1 class="title">Stopwatch</h1>
<h1 id="timerLabel">00:00:00</h1>
<input type="button" value="START" class="myButton" onClick="start()" id="startBtn">
<input type="button" value="STOP" class="myButton" onClick="stop()">
<input type="button" value="RESET" class="myButton" onClick="reset()">
<h2 id="first">0</h2>
<h2 id="second">0</h2>
<h2 id="third">0</h2>
<h2 id="forth">0</h2>
<h2 id="fifth">0</h2>
</div>

I see several issues right away.
First you have var f = 0 twice.
You have f + 1; and s + 1; but those statements don't return anything, you want s++; and f++; or s+=1; and f+=1; if you want the s and f variables to increment.
Your if conditions use =, which is for assignment and therefore will always return true, instead of == (equality with conversion) or better yet, === (strict equality).
Fixing those issues will probably get you up and running.
But, you've also got too much complication in this solution.
First, you should not be using inline HTML event attributes (onclick, etc.) and instead, you should be setting up all your event handling in JavaScript.
Next, it seems that you have too many variables for what you are trying to do. There really isn't a need for status as far as I can tell. If you are in the stop function, it's obvious that you are stopped. If you are in the timer function, you must be started. I also don't see the need for the f, s, f2 and t variables or the code that tracks them.
You forgot to check mSec for single digits and prepend a 0 in those cases.
Only use .innerHTML when the string you are supplying contains HTML that needs to be parsed by the browser. If there is no HTML in the string, the HTML parser will be invoked for no reason and that's a waste of resources. For non-HTML strings, use .textContent.
You also don't need to set up empty <h2> placeholders for the results ahead of time. You can create them on the fly so there will be less HTML and less JavaScript to try to test for them and match them.
Related to the <h2> comment, you should be using tags because of the semantics they convey, not because of the default formatting the browser applies to them. <h1>is fine for your page title of Stopwatch because that's a heading, but it's incorrect for showing the elapsed time because that's not a section heading. And, to show the various times between clicks, a bullet list is appropriate because you are, well, making a list. Use the right tag for the job, but then use CSS to style anything anyway that you want.
And, by separating out the code that creates the 00:00:00 string into its own function, you can call it whenever you need that format created.
I believe I've accomplished what you want below. See comments for explanations:
var time = 0; // Store the elapsed time count
var timeout = null; // Will hold a reference to the setTimeout
var lastTime = null; // Stores the time count when the stop button was last pressed
// Get all the DOM references you'll be working with, just once
// and make them available to all the functions so you don't need
// to keep finding them over and over.
var btnStart = document.getElementById("startBtn");
var btnStop = document.getElementById("stopBtn");
var btnReset = document.getElementById("resetBtn");
var timerLabel = document.getElementById('timerLabel');
var results = document.getElementById("results");
// Set up your event handlers in JavaScript, not in HTML
btnStart.addEventListener("click", start);
btnStop.addEventListener("click", stop);
btnReset.addEventListener("click", reset);
function start() {
btnStart.disabled = true;
timeout = setTimeout(function(){
time++; // Increment time count
timerLabel.textContent = getFormattedTime(time); // Update counter with formatted time
start(); // Run timer again
}, 10);
}
function stop() {
clearTimeout(timeout); // Stop the timer
var li = document.createElement("li"); // Create a new <li> element
li.textContent = getFormattedTime(time - lastTime); // Set the text for the element
lastTime = time; // Store the time that the timer stopped
results.appendChild(li); // Add the <li> to the static <ul>
btnStart.disabled = false; // Disable the start button
}
function reset(){
clearTimeout(timeout); // Stop the timer
time = 0; // Reset the time
lastTime = 0; // Reset the last time
timerLabel.textContent = '00:00:00'; // Reset the time label
btnStart.disabled = false; // Enable the start button
results.innerHTML = ""; // Clear out the static <ul>
}
// This function accepts the time count and retuns it in a 00:00:00 format
function getFormattedTime(timeVal){
var min = Math.floor(timeVal/100/60);
var sec = Math.floor(timeVal/100);
var mSec = timeVal % 100;
if(min < 10) { min = "0" + min; }
if(sec >= 60) { sec = sec % 60; }
if(sec < 10) {
if(sec === 0) {
sec = "00";
} else {
sec = "0" + sec;
}
}
if(mSec < 10) {
if(mSec === 0) {
mSec = "00";
} else {
mSec = "0" + mSec;
}
}
return min + ":" + sec + ":" + mSec;

Countdown timer working stop on chrome extensions.

I think that I will build chrome extensions to count down.
In case of the present code, if popup.html is closed, processing will be completed compulsorily.
In this case, is it better to write setInterval to background.js?
Moreover, I want you to teach whether what I should do concrete.
background.js
var num = window.localStorage.setItem("minite_num", 20);
default_count = num*60;
function count_start() {
count = default_count;
chrome.browserAction.setIcon({
path: {
"19": "img/icon_count19.png",
"38": "img/icon_count38.png"
}
});
}
function count_down() {
count--;
if (count <= 0) {
page_change();
count_stop();
}
}
popup.js
var bg = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
var num = bg.num;
var start_btn = document.count_timer.start_btn;
var count_time = document.getElementById("counter");
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
load();
start_btn.addEventListener('click', start_display);
});
function timer_reset() {
timerID = 0;
}
function count_format(num) {
var tm,ts;
tm = Math.floor(num / 60); //分
ts = num % 60; //秒
if (ts < 10) ts = "0" + ts;
return tm + ":" + ts;
}
function load(){
display_num = bg.count_format(bg.default_count);
bg.timer_reset();
start_btn.disabled = false;
count_time.innerHTML = display_num;
}
function start_display() {
start_btn.disabled = true;
bg.count_start();
timerID = setInterval(function() {bg.count_down();count_time.innerHTML = bg.count;}, 1000);
}
popup.html
<form name="count_timer" class="count_timer">
<div id="counter" class="counter"></div>
<input type="button" name="start_btn" value="START">
</form>
Thanks.

use chrome storage / localStorage to remember your target time.
Use an interval from the popup to update your calculations. First time, the popup needs to read from storage and determine where the countdown is at.
Nothing needs to be done from background, unless you want to separate logic (as in MVC), then maybe do all storage stuff from background, and ask for it with messaging.
I have a published open-source chrome extension (plus for trello) with a count(up) timer feature that does something similar.

how do you repeat a process multiple times with java script

I have found the following code and I was wondering how can I repeat this code 9 times before changing the newPage. What i am doing right now is making 10 html documents and i change newPage to page2.html, page3.html ,page4.html so after the count done it changes and eventually cycles through all these html documents. I want to keep it to only 2 documents. index.html with this code and end.html. index ill perform this code 9 times then change to end.html. Can anyone help?
var startTime = 45;
var newPage = "page2.html";
function countDown() {
startTime--;
document.getElementById("counter_display").innerHTML = startTime;
if (startTime == 0) {
window.location = newPage;
}
}
function gett(id) {
if (document.getElementById) {
return document.getElementById(id);
}
if (document.all) {
return document.all.id;
}
if (document.layers) {
return document.layers.id;
}
if (window.opera) {
return window.opera.id;
}
}
function watchNow() {
if (gett('counter_display')) {
setInterval(countDown, 1000);
gett("counter_display").innerHTML = startTime;
} else {
setTimeout(watchNow, 50);
}
}
document.onload = watchNow();
<p><b id="counter_display"></b></p>
<iframe frameborder="no" height="735" src="http://website.com/video.php" width="385"></iframe>

If you were loading the contents of the other pages with AJAX into the current page in a frame then you could replace the last line with:
document.onload = function () {
for (var i= 1; i < 10; i++) {
newPage = "page"+i+".html";
watchNow();
}
}
But as to how you do the first bit, I'll need more information about what the overal pages does etc.
