How to make timer not to restart after page refresh in psgTimer library of Jquery?

This is the code snippet of psgTimer Jquery Library, I want not to reload the timer when the page refreshes. I try to save the time diff in local storage. But not able to get the result. Please provide the solution.

Javascript Datepicker - Selecting date which links to time

Please be aware that I am a total noob at JS, sorry if I don't understand basic coding language. Solutions are very welcome. Thanks!
I have created my own form and have two input fields which consist of 'date of incident' and 'time of incident'. The user will need to select a date either the current date or previous dates only. Then the user will select a time and if the user selected the current date it can only be before the current time. Otherwise anytime is ok.
I have already developed the datepicker for 'date of incident' but I need all the dates after the current date to be grayed out, im not sure if I will need to use 'minDate' or 'maxDate' for this and if I will need to implement it to a existing function or create a new one.
For the 'time of incident' I am using 'type="time".
I have got a little bit of an idea for the date of incident:
futureDates = dates after current date
currentDate = today
futureDates = greyed out
But I am starting out with JavaScript and don't really know how to implement it properly into the code.
HTML:
<input id="datepick" placeholder="Enter the date of incident" type="text"/>
<input id="timepick" placeholder="Enter the time of incident" type="time"/>
Javascript for Datepicker:
var datepickr = (function() {

Sorry I don't have any code for my 'Time of Incident' field but I have a small psuedocode that I would like to turn into JavaScript and implement it into my code:
currentDate = new Date()
currentTime = new Date(time)
function timeSelect{
if{
datepicker = currentDate
{
time = currentTime (Can't select time past now, greyed out)
else
{
any time can be selected
}
Thank you for your time, it really helps me out.

How to disable past dates in `datepickr.js`?

Like the title says, I would like to disable past dates in a date-picker script.
Here what I do to create it:
new datepickr('datepick', {
fullCurrentMonth: true,
dateFormat: 'j-m-Y',
minDate: 0 ,
weekdays: [
'Lunedì', 'Martedì',
'Mercoledì', 'Giovedì',
'Venerdì', 'Sabato',
'Domenica'
],
months: [
'Gennaio', 'Febbraio',
'Marzo', 'Aprile',
'Maggio', 'Giugno',
'Luglio', 'Agosto',
'Settembre', 'Ottobre',
'Novembre', 'Dicembre'
],
});
And here is the entire script (from the internet, I don't remember where I found it).

I've already tried with minDate: 0 but it didn't work.
Some ideas? Thanks.

try like this:
minDate:'0d'
$("#id").datepicker({ changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy', showOn: 'none', showButtonPanel: true, minDate:'0d' });
And check it after
alert( $("#id").datepicker( "option", "minDate" ));

Checkout the documentation of datepicker http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ how to use minDate.
When you are using datepicker.js you have to use minDate property already provided in the library.
jsFiddle link i found googling.

You can pass the minDate param to the new Datepicker obj like this:
new datepickr('datepick',
{
fullCurrentMonth : true,
dateFormat : 'j-m-Y',

How to pull selected date value from jsCalendar

I really like this calendar plugin for my mobile site: https://github.com/michaelkamphausen/jsCalendar
Seen working here: http://jsfiddle.net/dQxVV/1/
I am pretty new at JS and am having trouble figuring out
How to collect the selected start and end dates (place them into an input value)
How to show more than one month.
I really appreciate any help on this or if you have a suggestion for a better mobile friendly calendar.

The code you posted turns any div with a class of jsCalendar into a jsCalendar.
You're going to want to assign an individual id to any jsCalendar object you want to access the dates of.
You should be able to see what 2 dates the user has selected by calling the data function on the jsCalendar object. For instance, if you had a jsCalendar with an id of jsCalendar1:
var startDate = $("#jsCalendar1").data("startdate");
var endDate = $("#jsCalendar1").data("enddate");
alert("Calendar 1 has a start date of " + startDate + " and an end date of " + endDate + ".");
Make sure you put this code somewhere appropriate, such as in a function that isn't called until after a user has selected a start and end date.
Here's a working jsFiddle.
