Question

I have a function that sets display=none on a table row. At the end of my function I want to set a timeout to hide the next table row after a few milliseconds.

I have a problem though. When the timeout expires, the page is reloaded (undoing the effects of my function and and scrolling to page top). This even happens if I use an empty timeout: window.SetTimeout(function () { ; }, 1000); How can I stop this happening?

I am using recent Chromium.

I think your problem is somewhere else, disregarding the obvious error that you cased SetTimeout wrong ( it should be setTimeout ).

There is nothing in your code that should refresh the page.

Edit:

Just thought of something, since you cased SetTimeout wrong, maybe your click handler doesn’t finish as it should, thus letting the link “pass through” and load the page.

Edit2:

Huh, thats not the case….
