  • 0

For some reason my galleryScroll() function only runs once, even though the function calls itself using setTimeout(). I’m thinking the issue may be related to scope, but I’m not sure:

http://jsfiddle.net/CYEBC/2/

$(document).ready(function() {
    var x = $('#box').offset().left;
    var y = $('#box').offset().top;
    galleryScroll();

    function galleryScroll() {
        x = x + 1;
        y = y + 1;
        $('#box').offset({
            left: x,
            top: y
        });
        setTimeout('galleryScroll()', 100);
    }
});​

The HTML:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="box">
    </div>
</body>
</html>​

    Your problem is how you’re calling the galleryScroll() function in your setTimeout. Change that line to this:

       setTimeout(galleryScroll, 100);

    The result: http://jsfiddle.net/CYEBC/12/

    Note: I’m not sure if this is the desired behavior, but it’s what happens when your code is called properly.
