Is there any way to stop a setInterval?

[Ray Perkins]

I have a recurring ten second interrupt - setInterval( CheckClock, 10000 ); - that I would like to stop. Any way to do this?

setInterval( CheckClock, 0 ); doesn't do it.

When you use setInterval, it returns an ID which you can use to call clearInterval.

Your code should looks like:

var interval =  setInterval( CheckClock, 10000 );

/* ... */
if( interval )
{
    clearInterval( interval );
    interval = null;
}

Thanks. My mistake - I was using the function name instead of the handle. Blame my impending senility!

you can use the setTimeout in Javascript also possibly
