jQuery Countdown Plugin - only show non-zero periods
countdown, countdowntimer, javascript, jquery, period
Solution
Hiya please see here adding 2 jsfiddle to show you the difference: http://jsfiddle.net/8JJ9B/6/ (Only the seconds will appear note this happens when you set `**format**` option of countdown as lower case) and http://jsfiddle.net/8JJ9B/4/ (Zero will appear as well because I have format option set as Capital characters) update http://jsfiddle.net/cUW4M/
To avoid any non-zero value to appear countdown plugin has a reference called `format:` with `options as lower case character`
Further http://keith-wood.name/countdownRef.html#format
[Quote]Format option == ...Use upper-case characters for mandatory periods, or the corresponding lower-case characters for optional periods, i.e. only display if non-zero. Once one optional period is shown, all the ones after that are also shown...[Unquote]
code
$('#highlightCountdown').countdown({until: 0, format: 'hmS',onTick: highlightLast5});
Problem
I'm coding a countdown with jQuery countdown plugin. I only want it to show active ('non-zero') periods, e.g. instead of time left: 0 Days, 0 Hours, 13 Minutes, 20 Seconds it should only show 13 Minutes, 20 Seconds. My code is: ``` $('#countdown').countdown({ expiryUrl:'index.php?show=main', expiryText: 'EXPIRED', until: timeleft, layout:'{d<}{dn} {dl} and {d>}{h<}{hn} {hl}, {h>}{m<}{mnn} {ml}, {m>}{s<}{snn}{sl}{s>}' }); ``` But the problem is that with this code it hides the 'Days' period, but NOT the 'Hours/Minutes' So currently I get this: time left: 0 Hours, 10 Minutes, 27 Seconds What do I have to do to hide ALL zero periods? Thank you!
