Make StopWatch using Javascript

YASH PAL, May 1, 2021July 12, 2025

StopWatch using JavaScript Code – In this JavaScript tutorial, we are going to learn how to make a start-stop watch counter timer in the JavaScript programming language, or you can say a small stopwatch.

JavaScript Timer (Stopwatch)

Stopwatch Program Code using JavaScript

First of all, this is just a simple javascript program. and I dedicate this project to beginners who want to learn. and by developing this project you will learn some new terms in a javascript programming language.

My recommendation is that first of all create this project by yourself and then try to understand my code. and to fully understand this project you should have some basic knowledge of javascript programming language.

First of all, as you see in the above-given image we need to create a button and when we click on that button the timer should start and if again we click on the button then the timer needs to stop. and also remember that the time is increased only in seconds.

Code of Stopwatch in JavaScript program

 <html>
 <head>
  <style type="text/css">
    .first {
      top: 40%;
      left: 40%;
      position: absolute;
    }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body class="first">
  <button id="start">Start</button>
   <p><span id="counter">0</span> elapsed second(s)</p> 
   <script type="text/javascript">
    //Write-Your-Code-Here
const buttonElement = document.querySelector("button");
const counterElement = document.getElementById("counter");
// Global variable to access it from function
let intervalId = null;
// Chronometer state, initially stopped
let started = false;

buttonElement.addEventListener("click", () => {
  if (!started) {
    // Start the chronometer: add 1 to the counter each second
    intervalId = setInterval(() => {
      counterElement.textContent = String(Number(counterElement.textContent) + 1);
    }, 1000);
    // Update button text
    buttonElement.textContent = "Stop";
  } else {
    // Stop the chronometer
    clearInterval(intervalId);
    // Update button text
    buttonElement.textContent = "Start";
  }
  // Change chronometer state
  started = !started;
});
    
   </script>
 </body>
</html>

Explanation

Here first of all we have created a button Start. and then we create a paragraph. after that using javascript, we select the button and then set an event listener. and then increasing the value of span by 1 on the time interval of 1 second. also if we click on the button then the text is changed from start to stop and again when we click it stops.
