To it another way: you can only stop a timer if you have an var assigned to the timer. funcname.timertype(time) is an anonymous timer. You can't get back control of it. Maybe okay for a quick setTimeout, not good for a setInterval! var timeoutid = funcname.timertype(time) is a named timer that you can then control using `timeoutid`. -- Sandy P.S. Code snippets are so 2009 -- MooShell it up and it is much easier to understand the symptoms. (Unless I it's like a one- or two-liner.)
