Yeah, you're going to run into that problem anytime you navigate since, like you're seeing, it's rebuilding the page when you navigate. You could have your main page open another pop-up window that has the timer on it - it will stay on the same page even as you navigate through your main site. The other thing you could do is use frames - hide the frame that contains the timer.
