are you looking for something like this :

document.form.seconds.value = "00:00:" + (myTime < 10 ? "0" + myTime : myTime);

@gazzy1
1. Start using code tags as [code] YOUR CODE HERE [/code]
2. Make sure you post in proper section, not posting PHP stuff in JSP(Java Server Section) or JS(Java Script) in PHP section

or all accumulated infractions will get your account banned...

document.form <- form points to name="form" which was missing

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var myTime = "20";
function countDown() {
	document.form.seconds.value = myTime;
	if (myTime == 0)
	{
		location.href="trivia1.php";
	}
	else if (myTime > 0)
	{
		myTime--;
		setTimeout("countDown()",1000);
	}
}
</script>

<body onload="countDown();">
<form name="form">
Time Left: <input type="text" name="seconds" size="3">
</form>
</body>

The script above passed the second to 0 (starting from 20 second. I need 1500 seconds but the time show as 00:25:59, 00:25:58................00:25:01...00:24:00...00:24:59........................untill 00:00:00.
