这段代码起到什么作用?
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var num=0,i;
function timedCount(){
document.getElementById('txt').value=num;
num=num+1;
i=setTimeout(timedCount,1000);
}
setTimeout(timedCount,1000);
function stopCount(){
clearTimeout(i);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="txt">
<input type="button" value="Stop" onClick="stopCount()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
请问粗体的代码起到什么作用?
