have you tried to press f12?

also, on line 21, you're grabbing the input that you've grabbed on line 1

you know what would be a lot easier? a css animation your logic is wrong first, you check if it isn't equal to 0 if it isn't 0, it loops then you check if it is higher than 0 if it is, then it decrements the rest is dead code because it never gets executed if it is 1, then it decrements to 0, which will stop the loop also, you're doing a for loop on a while, which is extremely unreadable

for(let i = 20; i; i--) {
  await wait(1000);
  counterElement.innerText = i;
}

inpt.style.display = 'none';

for(let i = 20; i; i--) {
  await wait(1000);
  counterElement.innerText = i;
}

inpt.style.display = 'none';

this should do the same thing you also have .style.display = none; and the variable none doesn't exist, but i presume you wanted to set it to 'none'

but i did not use for loop i used if

you didn't you wrote the code of a for loop spread all over breaking down this: for(let i = 20; i; i--) { - for -> line 13 - the while loop - let i = 20 -> line 2 - the weird thing of you reading text of an input for some reason - i -> line 13 - counter != 0 - i-- -> line 17 - counter -= 1; so, you did what the for loop does, but it's all over the code
