Notes

Loader code HackTimer.js (or HackTimer.min.js) may be placed in separate file or in script tag.

Worker code HackTimerWorker.js (or HackTimerWorker.min.js) must be placed in separate file. It is used to fallback if Blob is not supported

To change worker code script name or path go to the end of HackTimer.js (or HackTimer.min.js) file and replace script name.

HackTimer.silent.min.js writes to log only if initialisation failed. Use it with HackTimerWorker.min.js .

Warning

Full code (HackTimer.js and HackTimerWorker.js) must not be used with minified (HackTimer.min.js and HackTimerWorker.min.js), i.e. HackTimer.js must use only HackTimerWorker.js and HackTimer.min.js must use only HackTimerWorker.min.js .
