You could use any number of loops.  For, do, while.  Are you familiar with any of the loops?

Well, if you start at 10 and so something while that is > then 0, the subtract one each time.... see how that works?

Try something like this var count=30; var counter=setInterval(timer, 1000); //1000 will run it every 1 second function countDown() { count=count-1; if (count <= 0) { clearInterval(counter); //counter ended, do something here return; } //Do code for showing the number of seconds here } to show the results from the counter add the line to anywhere on the page

That's a good point wildfalcon.  How you implement it depends on what type if countdown is meant!  If it is wanting to print 10 lines in reverse order or count 10 seconds will result in completely different code.

One of the more common IDEs for Java is Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/ It will take a little getting used to, but it is one of the one pros use, so it can be useful to learn it.
