Hi, I'm trying to write a web app that uses Javascript to perform a fairly complex calculation (involves factorials and Bessel functions). When I run the script in IE, it gives me a warning that the script is unresponsive or taking a long time, and asks if I want to continue running it. I've read that to get around this, you can use e...
I find myself doing this a lot: window.onload = function(){ $.get("http://example.com/example.html", function(data) { $('#contentHere').html(data); setTimeout("javaScriptClass.init()", 200); }); } But setTimeout seems a bit hacky (and 200ms is already over three times the attention span of the average user :). ...
Hi all, I asked a question a couple weeks ago about using setTimeout for a factorial function, but it was unfortunately with an unregistered account and I never got a complete answer. My main issue is that I'd like to write a function that calculates the factorial of a number but uses the setTimeout or setInterval commands. The impetu...
Ok, really simple question. I'm taking a crash course in javascript. If I use timer = setTimeout(..., 500) to set a timer, and then clearTimeout(timer) to clear the timer, the integer value of timer doesn't change, so my question is how to know if a timer is timed out or cleared? I want to use if (timer) {...} , but obviously a positi...
I recently asked a question about the same function, that solved my probelem and directed me to a tutoraial because I was using a while loop, this meant that my function did not animate, just freeze then resize. This new way, using setTimeout should work. The only thing is that it just snaps to the new size rather than animating to it. T...

I have a navigation menu which contain sub menus. On hover I want the sub menus to show after a second delay. Menu items marked with a class of "more" contain sub menus. Problem is that one of my functions called hoverCheck() is coming back as undefined when it's called. But I can't figure out why. Here's my code: $(document).ready...

Here's a quick example: 5 total elements Run code once every 20 seconds for each element that is found. Can someone please give me a basic example how to do this using plain JavaScript?

If you click the body of the html once and wait until the ball is offscreen its fine. However if you clicked 2+ times you'll notice the ball moving faster. When you click the body again to make the ball come back it is still faster then it should be. Why? http://jsfiddle.net/44nwt/10/ -edit- in firefox on my page (i havent tried on jsfi...
