Answer 1

You will probably find using epoch timestamps more straightforward: As detailed in Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript, the basic method is like so:

Be warned that this script needs some work since for now it will give negative values for things like date1 = 12:00:00 and date2 = 12:00:05, but I'll leave that to you fo now.

You should rewrite your code to take a timestamp ( var x = new Date(); ) at the start of your timer and one whenever you are done/want to check elapsed time, and subtract the two before parsing out elapsed seconds, minutes, hours etc as required.
