Smart Timer And Counter is a jQuery plugin that can be used to add timers and clocks to the webpage. Plugin is highly configurable and expandable through custom skins (visual component), modes (clock/timer logic) and languages (translate labels).
Styling is done using CSS (and Canvas for Circular skin), and all included styles are pure CSS with no images used.
Plugin is tested with current Android (with 2.3.5, 4.0.2 and 4.1.2) browsers, iPhone and iPad Safari and Chrome (with iOS7), all modern desktop browsers (IE8 and IE9 will not show some of the styling). It requires JavaScript and jQuery support to work.
Plugin can work as clock or as counter. If used as clock, you can show current date/time, or you can start from any date. Counter can countdown to any date, countdown any number of seconds or countup to any seconds limit. Plugin can display different combination of time and date elements, dividers and labels.

Plugin has 4 skins to display clocks/counters. Simple and Animated skins have 14 styles each (some the same). Animated skin uses animations (SlideIn, SlideOut, Fade, FadeIn, FadeOut) to change digits. Inline skin can be used on SPAN tags for adding counters inline with text with minimal styling changes.

Based on third party jQuery Knob library, allows full customization of size and colors (even using transparency) for number dials.

Plugin has wide range of settings for skins, modes, language. It is easy to customiza and use with any jQuery based project. Documentation contains detailed explanation of all settings, list of values, list of styles and more. Plugin package has plenty of demos.
