JavaScript Choose your own adventure game random number function in loop problem

I'm writing a choose your own adventure program where If a specific option is chosen (example to wait) the user gets a random number between 1-10 to do push ups(the push-ups would be the user clicking on the prompt "ok" button however many times the random number is equal to) here's my code so far but I keep getting errors. I'm a complete noob so go easy on me.
var count = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
var setsOf10 = false;
function pushUps() {
alert("Nice! Lets see you crank out " + pushUps + "!");
}
if (setsOf10 == pushUp) {
alert("Nice! Lets see you crank out " + pushUp + "!");
setsOf10 = true;
}
for (var i=0; i<count; i++){
pushUps();
}
else {
alert("Really, thats it? Try again");
}
while ( setsOf10 == false);
}
After playing with this some more I can tell i'm close but still don't have it. and again, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO SOLVE THIS FOR ME JUST NEED POINTERS AS TO WHAT IM DOING WRONG OR MISSING. Here's what I have, Its giving me my random number I just need it to allow me to click the "ok" button however many times the random number has assigned me.
var pushUpSets = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
function pushUps(){
alert(pushUpSets);
if (pushUpSets < 3){
var weak = "Thats it? Weak sauce!";
alert(weak);
}
else{
alert("Sweet lets get some reps in!");
}
for (i=0; i>3; i++){
pushUps(pushUpSets);
}
}

Here, the make a choice button is just dummy to allow us to go to do push ups. Each click decrements our count.
// This is important, we use this event to wait and let the HTML (DOM) load
// before we go ahead and code.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
document.querySelector('#choice').addEventListener('click', makeChoice);
});
function makeChoice() {
// Call a method to set random pushups and setup the click event
setUpPushUp();
// Here we change the display style of the push up section so that it shows to the player.
document.querySelector('.activity').style.display = 'block';
}
// The pushups variable is declared at the document level
// This way our setUpPushUp and doPushUp functions have easy access.
let pushUps = 0;
function setUpPushUp() {
// Create a random number of pushups, in sets of 10.
// We add an extra 1 so we can call the doPushUp method to initialize.
pushUps = (Math.floor((Math.random() * 10)+1)*10)+1 ;
// Add a click event to the push up button and call our doPushUp method on each click.
document.querySelector('#push').addEventListener('click', doPushUp);
// This is just an init call, it will use the extra 1 we added and place test in our P tag.
doPushUp();
}
function doPushUp() {
// Get a reference to our output element, we will put text to player here.
let result = document.querySelector('p');
// They have clicked, so remove a push up.
pushUps--;
// See if the player has done all the required push ups (i.e. pushUps is 0 or less.)
if (pushUps > 0) {
result.innerText = `You need to crank out ${pushUps} pushUps`;
} else {
result.innerText = 'Nice work!';
}
}
.activity {
display: none;
}
<button id="choice">Make a choice !</button>

JavaScript to toggle relay through website

I apologize I am new to javascript. I am trying to toggle a relay from a website using setInterval. The relay is a Sainsmart with 16 channels and it is connected to an arduino controlled by a raspberry pi. The goal is to eventually have three independent relays toggling at particular intervals. However, every attempt to get the first one working fails. In addition, every time I add a setInterval within a function or global, freezes the live streaming video from my ip camera. I am using a sandbox key through ably.
The html code and script work to toggle the relay on, and then a second button will toggle it off, but I need a single button to accomplish it.
The button initiates the sequence with a counter dictating whether the relay toggles on or off. It is set up to toggle on with an even number and off with an odd number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the updated code I am trying to work with.
<div class="grid-item"><button id="37" onclick="startOnOff()">Start</button>
</div>
<script src="http://cdn.ably.io/lib/ably.min-1.js"></script>
<script>
var count = 0;
function startOnOff() {
var on = "37" + "on";
var off = "37" + "off";
if (counter % 2 == 0) {
toggleRelay(on);
count += 1;
} else if (count % 2 == 1) {
toggleRelay(off);
}
setInterval(startOnOff, 2000);
}

You have count in a few places and counter in one place where it should be count.
Assuming toggleRelay() is defined somewhere else in your code, try this:
var count = 0;
var on = "37" + "on";
var off = "37" + "off";
function startOnOff() {
if (count % 2 == 0) {
toggleRelay(on);
} else {
toggleRelay(off);
}
count += 1;
setTimeout(startOnOff, 2000);
}
count += 1; should be outside of the if conditional statement,
and use setTimeout() when calling startOnOff() recursively.

JQuery Gallery next button not working properly?

I am trying to create a basic gallery using JQuery.
The basic idea is that all image files are called x.png (where x is a number), and the program adds a number to the current number creating x+1.png and so on.
The code i have is:
function gal2(){
var amount = $(".imagelist > img").length;
var next = $("#display").attr('src').replace('.png', '');
if ($("#display").attr('src').replace('.png', '') >= amount) {
$("#display").attr('src', next+".png");
next++;
} else {
$("#display").attr('src', next+".png");
next++;
};
}
gal2 is called on a button press <input type="button" onclick="gal2()">,
.imagelist is a div containing the images,
#display is the main image being shown,
Example Website
The problem is that nothing happens except if one is selected than it will back to the original one every time.
P.S: It's for a year 9 secondary school project

You made some edits to your script and now it work fine : https://jsfiddle.net/IA7medd/qwmt7Lep/2/
function gal2(){
var amount = $(".imagelist > img").length;
var current = parseInt($("#display").attr('src').replace('.png', ''));
var next = current + 1;
if (current < amount) {
$("#display").attr('src', next+".png");
} else {
$("#display").attr('src', "1.png");
};
}

setTimeout executes itself right away/on clear

I'm making a webpage where user events are logged in.
To test the feature I made a small, independant webpage with a teaxtarea and a text input. The events logged are those performed on the input element.
I want to prevent the same event text to be shown multiple times in a row, but I can't seem to prevent them from showing up!
I also want to add a line to separate event groups 0.5 seconds after no other event happened, but the line seems to appear on every event trigger, evenif I use clearTimeout with the timeout ID.
Basically: I don't want any line to be repeated. If the last line is a separator line, then it must not add another one. Yet it doesn't see to work.
JSFiddle Demo
Here is my code:
JavaScript
var timerID = 0;
function addSeparateLine()
{
document.getElementById('listeEvenements').value += "--------------------\n";
}
function show(newEventText)
{
var eventListField = document.getElementById('listeEvenements');
var eventList = [];
if (eventListField.value.length > 0)
{
eventList = eventListField.value.split("\n");
}
var eventCounter = eventList.length;
if (eventList[eventCounter - 2] == newEventText)
{
clearTimeout(timerID);
newEventText = "";
}
timerID = setTimeout(addSeparateLine, 500);
if (newEventText !== "")
{
eventListField.value += newEventText + "\n";
}
return true;
}
HTML
<fieldset id="conteneurLogEvenements">
<legend>Events called from HTML attribute</legend>
<textarea id="listeEvenements" rows="25"></textarea>
<input id="controleEcoute" type="text" onBlur="show('Blur');" onchange="show('Change');" onclick="show('Click');" onfocus="show('Focus');" onMousedown="show('MouseDown');" onMousemove="show('MouseMove');" onMouseover="show('MouseOver');" onkeydown="show('KeyDown');"
onkeypress="show('KeyPress');" onkeyup="show('KeyUp');" />
</fieldset>

It sounds like what you want is a line that prints after 500 milliseconds of inactivity, but what your code currently says to do is "print a line 500 milliseconds after any action, unless it gets canceled". You can get better results by structuring the code more closely to your intended goal.
Specifically, instead of scheduling a new timeout every time an event occurs, simply start a loop when the first event occurs that checks the time that has elapsed since the most recent event received and then prints a line when the elapsed time exceeds the desired threshold (500 milliseconds). Something like:
function addSeparateLine() {
var elapsed = new Date().getTime() - lastEventTime;
if (elapsed >= 500) {
document.getElementById('listeEvenements').value += "--------------------\n";
clearInterval(timerID);
timerID = -1;
}
}
...and then you schedule it like:
if(newEventText !== "") {
lastEventTime = new Date().getTime();
eventListField.value += newEventText+"\n";
if (timerID == -1) {
timerID = setInterval(addSeparateLine,100);
}
}
Working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/z6kb4/4/

Because you are not actually stopping the show function in any way. The clearTimeout only applies to the separator add. I have updated your fiddle. You need to wrap your function with
if (+new Date() - lastfire < 500) return;
and
lastfire = +new Date();
(before the last return--see the updated fiddle). Also, make sure to stick the global definition var lastfire = -1; somewhere up top.

Clear Var or Callback in Javascript

Sorry, i am not sure if I am asking the question correctly. When a date is changed by a user the date count down changes on the page. If the date is changed more than once it flashes all date changes. I guess it is storing the previous information somewhere. I have tried clearing the vars.
var deal_yeax = '';
as I would do in php with no luck
$('#deal_end').focusout(function() {
var deal_end = $("#deal_end").val();
var array = deal_end .split('-');
var deal_montx = array[0];
var deal_dax = array[1];
var deal_yeax = array[2];
deal_montx = deal_montx - 1;
$(function(){
ts = new Date(deal_yeax , deal_montx , deal_dax );
$(".h").countdown({
timestamp : ts,
callback : function(days, hours, minutes, seconds){
message_days = (days);
var message_hours = (hours);
$(".message_hours").text(message_hours + " Hours");
var message_minutes = (minutes);
$(".message_minutes").text(message_minutes + " Minutes");
var message_seconds = (seconds);
// Creat the display
if ( message_days < 1 && message_hours < 1 ) { $(".message_seconds").text(message_seconds + " Seconds"); }
else if ( message_days < 1 && message_hours > 1 ) { }
else if ( message_days == 1 ) { $(".message_days").text(message_days + " Day"); }
else { $(".message_days").text(message_days + " Days"); }
if ( message_days < 1 && message_hours < 1 && message_minutes < 1 && seconds < 1 ) {
$(".hide_my_buy_button").fadeOut("fast");
}
}
});
});
});

Everytime you "focusout" from #deal_end, you'll attach a countdown event to .h. Without knowing exactly how countdown(...) works (It'll be good if you provide the source so we can provide more help!), one way to fix the issue maybe to use JQuery's unbind(...) function to remove existing listeners on an event before adding a new one to it.
Here's an example on the issue:
<!-- HTML -->
<div>
<input id="text" />
<button id="clicker" />
</div>
<!-- Javascript -->
$('#text').focusout(function() {
var text = this.value;
// Everytime #text is "focused out", a new event is registered with #clicker.
$('#clicker').click(function() {
console.log('Value: ' + text);
});
});
... and here's how to solve the issue (It's just one of the many ways. This way is probably not the most elegant but anyhow.)
$('#text').focusout(function() {
var text = this.value;
$('#clicker').unbind('click');
// Everytime #text is "focused out", a new event is registered with #clicker.
$('#clicker').click(function() {
console.log('Value: ' + text);
});
});
Bottom line: It seems focusout(...) is adding a new countdown everytime it is triggered. That might be the problem you're having.
Not sure if this helps? Lemme know.
P.S. JSFiddle to go with it: http://jsfiddle.net/PE9eW/

The problem seems to be with .countdown function that you are using in your code to flash the date changes. When you assign a new count down object to $(".h") the plugin or the function probably assign some event handler or interval to it, but it doesn't seem to clear the old ones when it is called again and that is why it flashing all the dates for each countdown. So you will have to do it manually. I am not sure if you are using an external plugin or is it your own function but what you need to do is to clear the existing events or intervals that is assigned to your element when you call the function. I can be more helpful if you tell me which plugin you are using or maybe show the code if it is your own function. (referring to .countdown() )
