How to Make a Timer in Dreamweaver
The Adobe Dreamweaver software helps new webmasters create website code using a friendly user interface. The interface includes a JavaScript inclusion wizard you use to include a timer in your Dreamweaver app. A timer lets you countdown from a specific number of seconds, and send a user a message or redirect to a new location. You perform this action using the JavaScript "setTimeout" function.
