title: jQuery countdown stop reset
body: <p>I use this countdown script <a href="http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html" rel="nofollow">http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html</a></p>
  
  <p>My code is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $(function() {
          $('#defaultCountdown').countdown({ until: +43200 });
          $('#removeCountdown').toggle(function() {
                  $(this).text('Re-attach');
                  $('#defaultCountdown').countdown('destroy');
              },
              function() {
                  $(this).text('Remove');
                  $('#defaultCountdown').countdown({ until: +43200 });
              });
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, this counts down to 12 hours but the problem is that every time I refresh the page the counter starts over and over so basically the 12 hours will never end.</p>
  
  <p>I want to start automatically but after the 12 hours period is finished.</p>
  
  <p>Any help please?</p>
