Question

I have the following code:

var focusIntervalObj = setInterval(function(){
            focusDelayCaused++;
            console.log(focusDelayCaused);
        }, 100);

clearInterval(focusIntervalObj);

I am have a firebug installed.

I am expecting this code to log the value of focusDelayCaused.

But when I execute, it doesn’t do so, and also the clearInterval() simply returns undefined.

Please guide.

Answer 1

You are setting the interval and clearing it before it fires.

var focusIntervalObj = setInterval(function(){
        focusDelayCaused++;
        console.log(focusDelayCaused);
        clearInterval(focusIntervalObj);
    }, 100);

That might be what you are thinking. Which would be simpler as:

var focusIntervalObj = setTimeout(function(){
        focusDelayCaused++;
        console.log(focusDelayCaused);
    }, 100);
