JS Code Works in jsbin and Not in jsfiddle or Chrome/Safari?

Question

I am trying to figure out why this code is working only in jsbin and not in jsfiddle or in any web browser as an html/js file. I have tried debugging but cannot find a conclusion.

I made the mistake of coding directly in jsbin instead of a document. Any input would be appreciated.

That is because by default the script is added in a onload handler in jsfiddle, so your methods is available only inside the scope of that closure. So it will be

window.onload=function(){
    //your script is here
}

You are trying to access them in global scope when you are trying to call them from on<event> ="" attributes which will give an error like Uncaught ReferenceError: startClock is not defined in your console.

Change the second dropdown in the left panel under Frameworks & Extensions to body/head in the left panel of fiddle to add the script without a wrapper function
