JQuery help! |

Hello, Might you be able to help with a little simple Javascript? I've been working on this for a couple of hours and have run into a wall: I need a function that will stop this count-down timer (jQuery plugin) when someone clicks on a link: Plugin info page: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jquery-countdown Plugin code: Code: jQuery.fn.countdown = function(options) { Thanks a million if you can help!

My instinct is that since the plugin does not provide this sort of functionality, then you need to write it yourself. The plugin is basically calling setTimeout() over and over with a period of one second. A simple (cheesy) solution: create a variable, use jquery to set it when an anchor is clicked, and then modify the plugin to check that variable. Given the html tidbit: Code: <a href="#" id="stopCountdown">Stop Countdown</a> We create a global variable: Code: var countdown_okay = true; The click handler for the anchor is like so: Code: $('#stopCountdown').click( function() { And then we modify the plugin to look like the following: Code: /** The reason I did it as above is so that you can stop and start the countdown by modifying the click handler for the anchor: Code: $('#stopCountdown').click( function() { I did not test any of this code. YMMV. Best of luck, etc. Oh, and it would be MUCH better to drop this functionality into the plugin, but I was lazy. I would redo the plugin with a private variablt to handle whether or not the countdown was allowed to continue. But I am lazy. Did I say that already?

You could stop the javascript timeout. Code: if(countdown) { |
