I want to execute a particular number of statements after some delay. For eg:
function findPosX(obj) {
var curleft = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
while (1) {
curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
if (!obj.offsetParent) {
break;
}
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
} else if (obj.x) {
curleft += obj.x;
}
return curleft;
}
function findPosY(obj) {
var curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
while (1) {
curtop += obj.offsetTop;
if (!obj.offsetParent) {
break;
}
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
} else if (obj.y) {
curtop += obj.y;
}
return curtop;
}
function gotoDiv(index) {
var ele = document.getElementById("Div" + index);
var x = findPosX(ele);
var y = findPosY(ele);
setTimeout("window.scrollTo(x, y)", 5000);
}
Here I want to set the current scroll position to a prticular div. But it's giving me error: x is undefined. Let me tell u if I use the functions as below it works fine, so please don't tell me that ele is null and blah blah blah.
function gotoDiv(index) {
var ele = document.getElementById("Div" + index);
var x = findPosX(ele);
var y = findPosY(ele);
window.scrollTo(x, y);
}
Any help appreciated.
