Timer to Display HH:MM:SS from a datetime Label in a FormView

I have an ASPX page with a label inside a FormView.  The SQLDataSource pulls a date field.  I'd like to display on the page how long it's been since the date \ time on the label in hours, minutes, and seconds format. HH:MM:SS or possibly even using this flip counter found online here   and demo here.

I'm a pre-novice at both javascript and jquery languages.

I included a basic page aspx.vb page below for testing.  could someone please help me link this up to start from one of the labels in the FormView?  ... and or maybe how to link it hh;mm:ss to the 3 labels so they update on client side?

Ok, I made a little progress with this.  But still not entirely there.  I got it to start a timer on page load , but I really need it from the time in the FormView.

I'm begging someone to help me out

Sorry, I'm not up on the .NET side of things but I can help with the client side.  What I need you to do is post the rendered page.  Open that demo page in a browser, right click, view source, copy and paste here.  Be sure to wrap the code in code tags
Rob,

Thanks for your reply.  I hope this helps you out.

See here for the demo http://jsbin.com/pogoji/1/edit?html,js,output

Is this showing the correct time for you?

javascript:
function pad(val) {
  return val > 9 ? val : "0" + val;
}

function calctime(old) {
  var now = new Date()*1; // milliseconds
  var sec = now - old*1000;
  setInterval(function () {
    sec++;

    var seconds = pad(sec % 60);
    var minutes = pad(parseInt(sec / 60 / 1000, 10));
    var hours = pad(parseInt((sec / 60) / 60 / 1000, 10));

    minutes = minutes - (hours * 60);
    minutes = padDigits(minutes, 2);

    $("#seconds").text(seconds);
    $("#minutes").text(minutes);
    $("#hours").text(hours);
  }, 1000);
}

function padDigits(number, digits) {
  return Array(Math.max(digits - String(number).length + 1, 0)).join(0) + number;
}

$(function() {
  var curTime = parseInt($('#FormView1_Label1').text());
  calctime(curTime);
});

Rob,

I don't want you to think I'm ignoring this.  I believe this is basing the date on GMT.  is there a parameter to put it into PST?  If not, I can subtract hours to get it to line up correctly.

It did load, but for some reason the minutes and hours are not updating on the .aspx side; only the seconds are.   The hours and minutes load on page refresh, but minutes to not add once seconds flip over 60.  Same with hours.

Unfortunately, I can't work on it anymore until tomorrow afternoon; But progress is being made.

You are correct, had to convert them both to UTC.  Since I'm only after the hh:mm:ss I didn't bother converting them back.

Rob, I can't thank you enough.  I had honestly put days into trying to figure this out.  Here's the final working test page.

Rob did a fantastic job helping me wrap this up.  I simply needed to take a date from a label and display how long it's been since that date to the users in hh:mm:ss format.

Thanks a bunch!!
