var timer;
var count = 60;

$("#counter").text(count);
//update display

timer = setTimeout(update, 1000);
//this allows for 'clearTimeout' if needed

function update()
{
    if (count > 0)
    {
       $("#counter").text(--count);
       timer = setTimeout(update, 1000);
    }
    else
    {
        alert("Done!!!");
    }
}

Counts from 0 to 60.

var count = 0, timer = setInterval(function() {
    $("#counter").html((count++)+1);
    if(count == 59) clearInterval(timer);
}, 1000);

Or from 60 to 0:

var count = 60, timer = setInterval(function() {
    $("#counter").html(count--);
    if(count == 1) clearInterval(timer);
}, 1000);
