Question: Is there any way that I could be able to make a progress bar go backwards? I have seen an example that told me to turn the progress bar 180 degrees, but that seems like a very dirty way to do it. What I'm looking for is so the progress bar can be time controlled, and so that a by pressing a button, I would add three seconds to the timer, thus pulling back the bar a bit (Say the timer is at 7 seconds, pressing the button would add a second, bringing it to 8 seconds thus pulling back the timer a little bit). If I could incorporate this with a countdown timer as well, it would be cool, but not 100% needed. Here is what I have so far. Changes that need to be made is so that the timer goes backwards instead of forwards, and so I could be able to add time on to it by pressing a button.

HTML:

Javascript:

```
$(document).ready(function(){
var interval = 2, //How much to increase the progressbar per frame
    updatesPerSecond = 1000/60, //Set the nr of updates per second (fps)
    progress =  $('progress'),
    animator = function(){
        progress.val(progress.val()+interval);
        $('#val').text(progress.val());
        if ( progress.val()+interval < progress.attr('max')){
           setTimeout(animator, updatesPerSecond);
        } else { 
            $('#val').text('Done');
            progress.val(progress.attr('max'));
        }
    }

setTimeout(animator, updatesPerSecond);
});

```

Answer: 
There is difference in "=" and "==" operators. = is **assingment** operator while == is **comparison** operator.

Change 

```
  if ($pool->status = 'ONLINE') {

```

To 

```
 if ($pool->status == 'ONLINE') {

```
You are using assignment operator in your if statement, instead of conditional equals operator. It is the different between using `=` and `==`

```
foreach($pools as $pool){
        if ($pool->status == 'ONLINE') {
            $pool->cstatus = '
            <i class="zmdi zmdi-shield-check zmdi-hc-lg text-success" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="" data-original-title="OK"></i>
            ';
        }
        else {
            $pool->cstatus = '
            <i class="zmdi zmdi-help zmdi-hc-lg text-muted" data-placement="right" title="" data-original-title="Status unknown."></i>
            ';
        }
    }

```
