I have the following:
window.setTimeout(function() {
window.location.href = 'file.php';
}, 115000);
How can I, via a .click function, reset the counter midway through the countdown?
Answer
You can store a reference to that timeout, and then call clearTimeout on that reference.
// in the example above, assign the result var timeoutHandle = window.setTimeout(...); // in your click function, call clearTimeout window.clearTimeout(timeoutHandle); // then call setTimeout again to reset the timer timeoutHandle = window.setTimeout(...);
