Question

I have a little question, is there any option to detect clicks interval and set for them any condition. For example if i click one by one in one second interval i can do something, and if i click again after 0.5s i can make something else? I have no idea how to write this so i can’t add any example on my code only this vision, also i can’t find this solution in other therds, can you help me?

var clicks=0;
function myClickFunction(event){
    clicks++;
}
$(function(){
    $("#something").on("click",myClickFunction);
        if (click == )){

        }   
    });
});

Much thx for answer!

var lastClickTime;

function testTime(time){
    switch (true) {
        case (time < 500):
            alert("less than 500ms!");
            break;
        case (time < 1000):
            alert("less than 1000ms but not 500ms!");
            break;
        default: 
            alert("you sure click slow!");
            break;
    }
}

$("#something").on("click", function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var newTime = new Date();
    if(lastClickTime !== undefined) {
         testTime(newTime - lastClickTime);
    } 
   lastClickTime = newTime;
});

This is a quick way to do it, but creates some globals. It should put you on the right path though!

A switch might help you keep track of all the different cases you want.
