Типа того?
<div id="timer">0</div>
<input type="button" id="bttn" value="confirm">
<script>
var timer = 0,
div = document.getElementById("timer");
setInterval(function(){
div.innerHTML = ++timer;
}, 1000);
document.getElementById("bttn").onclick = function(){
var time = new Date;
confirm("...");
timer += Math.round( ( new Date - time ) / 1000 );
div.innerHTML = timer;
};
</script>
