Insert the in your JS Header

var secs;

function cd() {
 	mins = 1 * m("30"); // change minutes here
 	secs = 0 + s(":01"); // change seconds here (always add an additional second to your total)
 	redo();
}

function m(obj) {
 	for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
  		if(obj.substring(i, i + 1) == ":")
  		break;
 	}
 	return(obj.substring(0, i));
}

function s(obj) {
 	for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
  		if(obj.substring(i, i + 1) == ":")
  		break;
 	}
 	return(obj.substring(i + 1, obj.length));
}

function dis(mins,secs) {
 	var disp;
 	if(mins <= 9) {
  		disp = " 0";
 	} else {
  		disp = " ";
 	}
 	disp += mins + ":";
 	if(secs <= 9) {
  		disp += "0" + secs;
 	} else {
  		disp += secs;
 	}
 	return(disp);
}

function redo() {
 	secs--;
 	if(secs == -1) {
  		secs = 59;
  		mins--;
 	}
 	document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML = 'Your session will expire in ' + dis(mins,secs) + ' minutes'; // setup additional displays here.
 	if((mins == 0) && (secs == 0)) {
  		window.alert("Time is up. Press OK to continue."); // change timeout message as required
  		// window.location = "yourpage.htm" // redirects to specified page once timer ends and ok button is pressed
 	} else {
 		cd = setTimeout("redo()",1000);
 	}
}

Insert this when you want the timer to be displayed.
