Timer field resets

Hi experts,

I have a single line of text field called new_timer and I have applied the following script to my form to start a stopwatch on the timer.

//Initialize time attributes
var seconds = 0, minutes = 0, hours = 0,t;
function add() {
    seconds++;
    if (seconds >= 60) {
        seconds = 0;
        minutes++;
        if (minutes >= 60) {
            minutes = 0;
            hours++;
        }
    }
    
	//creating time value in hh:mm:ss formate
    var tmp = (hours ? (hours > 9 ? hours : "0" + hours) : "00") + ":" + (minutes ? (minutes > 9 ? minutes : "0" + minutes) : "00") + ":" + (seconds > 9 ? seconds : "0" + seconds);
	Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_timer").setValue(tmp);

	//recursively calling timer
    timer();
}

//main timer method
function timer() {
    t = setTimeout(add, 1000);
}

function pause()
{
    clearTimeout(t);
}

function resume()   
{
    timer();
}

I have 2 buttons for pause and resume which I created on ribbon workbench and called pause and resume function, respectively. When I click pause, my timer pauses. When I click resume for the first time, my timer resets to 00:00:00. After that whenever I pause it resume, the timer stops and starts from where I left off.

Why is it resetting for the first time? Is there some error in my Script?

Thanks,

Jon
