Answer 1

Change to this

var hours = 0;
var mins = 0;
var secs = 0;

function clock()
{
document.body.innerHTML = hours+":"+mins+":"+secs;
++secs;
}

Thanks Calvin!

Answer 3

The problem is that the time variables always store 0 within them when the function is called. So just place those variables in the top of the file.

Here is the corrected code

var hours = 0;
var mins = 0;
var secs = 0;
function timer()
{
setInterval(clock, 1000);
}

function clock()
{
document.body.innerHTML = hours+":"+ +":"+secs++;

}

I changed some parts of your code and currently it handles seconds only. Use conditionals to handle other variables
