  there's an anomaly with setInterval when you reuse the setInterval ID you created. You should delete that object after your clear the interval so if it starts again setInterval creates a new object alltogether.

  so after clearInterval(countID) you say:

  delete countID;

  also avoid writing callback functions under setInterval like that....create a separate function and then just call it by name from setInterval:

  in your case:
  DoSomething=function(){
  ...
  }
  countID=setInterval(DoSomething, 1000);

  much easier to maintain and edit..
