I am trying to figure out how to display the output of this timer script I found online within another script. Here is the timer script I found:

    // Set the date we're counting down to
    var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2022 15:37:25").getTime();
    
    // Update the count down every 1 second
    var x = setInterval(function() {
    
      // Get today's date and time
      var now = new Date().getTime();
    
      // Find the distance between now and the count down date
      var distance = countDownDate - now;
    
      // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
      var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
      var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
      var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
      var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
    
      // Display the result in the element with id="demo"
      document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days   "d "   hours   "h "
        minutes   "m "   seconds   "s ";
    
      // If the count down is finished, write some text 
      if (distance < 0) {
        clearInterval(x);
        document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
      }
    }, 1000);

    <!-- Display the countdown timer in an element -->
    <p id="demo"></p>
    

<iframe name="sif1" sandbox="allow-forms allow-modals allow-scripts" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I want to be able to display the timer where I put "I want to display the timer here".

  <div class="flash-infos">   
    <div class="flash-info">
      <font color="white"; font size = 2; ><b>"I want to display the timer here"</b></font> <center>
    </div>    
  </div>

The answer is:

<b id="memo"></b>

Alright so I am assuming that you are using id="demo" in your "p" tag as well as "font" tag. So the former takes precedence. Just keep id="demo" here:

 <div class="flash-infos">   
    <div class="flash-info">
      <font font size = 2; ><b id="demo"></b></font> <center>
    </div>    
  </div>

And remove any other id="demo" that you have used in other parts of HTML. Notice I have removed color="white", not sure if it syncs with the default background color. Try setting a different color if white may be the case.
