var count = 00;

    $("p.countdown").html(count + " seconds ");
    count++;

Answer 1

Your code is looking for a p tag with the class .counter . Add this element.

I would suggest using a span rather that a p if you want it to appear inline with your current text...

 var count = 00; counter = setInterval(function(){ $(".countdown").html(count + " seconds remaining!"); count++; }, 1000);

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="itemshead" style="margin-top:4px;"><div class="items">List of Items <span class="countdown"></span></div></div>
