[Solved] Help with simple setTimeout() issue

[noahgelman]

I need a function to run every 5 seconds, but then pause when you hover a div. I’ve been trying to get it to work with setTimeout() and setInterval, but I can’t seem to get it. Any help?

This is what I have so far

$("#menu").hover(

function () {



},

function () {



});



function doMove() {



if ($('#fragment').hasClass('selected') == true)

{

$('#mover').animate({"top": "0px"}, "fast");

};

setTimeout(doMove,5000);

};



window.onload=function() {

setTimeout(doMove,5000);

}

I’m not sure what to put in the hover function to reset to rerun doMove(). When you hover #menu, it has to stop doMove(), and when you hover back off, it has to rerun it from the beginning

I struggled with that for a while.

Here’s what I’m busy doing in PlusSlider.

// Define functions

clearTimer = function () {

// Clear the timer if it is set

if (timer) {

window.clearInterval(timer);

}

}

beginTimer = function () {

timer = window.setInterval(function () {

nextSlide();

}, 2000);

}



beginTimer();



// Pause on hover

$(this).hover(function () {

clearTimer();

}, function () {

beginTimer();

});

Thank you, worked great. There was also another issue I found that was throwing off the timing that a coworker did so I fixed that, but that was after I implemented how you had it so I have no idea if the stuff I was trying before was working. I don’t care enough to find out.

By the way, I don’t remember if I told you, but I like your slider, it’s really well done.

Yeah you did tell, me. Thank you very much =)
