Question

This, will log ‘7’ seven times after 1 second.

for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    $.doTimeout(1000, function() {
        console.log(i);
    });
}

But how to do if I want it to log ‘0’,’1′,’2′,’3′,’4′,’5′,’6′ ?

($.doTimeout is the Ben Alman’s plug-in, but I think it’s the same problem with setTimeout.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    (function(i) {
        $.doTimeout(1000, function() {
            console.log(i);
        });
    }(i));
}

You need to associate a scope to the variable i so that when the closure looks it up it gets the value from that scope.
