I've got an inactivity countdown javascript that I need to reset to the begining value if the user moves his/her mouse

<form name=jj>
<input type=text name=kk value=5 size=4 >
</form>


var id;

function countdown()
{
jj.kk.value--;
if ( jj.kk.value == 0 )
{
self.clearInterval(id);
gogogo();
}
}

function gogogo()
{
location.replace('}

id = self.setInterval('countdown();',1000);

</script>


I've tried to stick in

onMousemove=&quot;jj.kk.value = 5&quot;; at various places, but it's just not working - anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

try something like this:
notice that i have used the setAttribute() method to set the value for the control...
Hope this is ok.

Rhys,

Thanks for the response, but now the countdown isn't starting at all for some reason. I like your thinking on the problem though - any other suggestions?

Thanks again!
