How can I clearInterval() for all setInterval()?

Question

I've got a setInterval() called in a jQuery plugin, but I want to clear it from my main page, where I don't have access to the variable that the setInterval was stored in.

Is there a way to clear all timers present on a page?

Answer 1

No, you can't, not without the original variable.

Answer 2

You can override setInterval:

window.oldSetInterval = window.setInterval;
window.setInterval = new function(func, interval) {
    var interval = oldSetInterval(func, interval);
    // store it in a array for stopping? stop it now? the power is yours.
}
