How to add a number to a table cell after a certain time

Question

I'm very very new at programming, so please be gentle. I've been working with Dreamweaver for only a few days and I'm having trouble with adding 2 to a number in a cell, when the clock shows XX:00:00 or XX:30:00. In other words, I want the number 2 added to the content of the cell every half hour.

What have you tried? What was the result of that? What error did you get? What programming language do you use? Please provide more information when asking questions. — Joetjah, Feb 12 '13 at 09:30

If I understand your question right, you would like to add 2 to some value every half hour?
You have tagged your post as both Java and Javascript, those are two different languages, so please correct. Since you have worked in Dreamviewer I assume you are developing web pages and the language you want to use is Javascript.

Setting a timer in Javascript:

setInterval(function(){myFunc()},1800000);  //1800000 = 30 minutes in milliseconds
function myFunc()
{
    //Code to update the cell
}

If you actually meant Java, the question is answered here: How to set a timer in java.
