Okay, so the clients are on different machines, with no guarantee that the clocks on the server and client machines are synchronized. Also, I am guessing (since you did not answer that part of my question), that you believe the time is off by 3 sec because the client sees a timeLeft that is 93 sec, when timestamp was generated on the server machine. Hopefully, the reason the client sees a countdown starting at 93 instead of 90 (and, perhaps, ending at 3 instead of 0) should now be obvious to you: the client and server clocks have a 3-second difference, and you are taking a time value created on the server and then using it on the client. Does this answer your question? ...Marvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
