Edit Question
Title
Body
I have a piece of Javascript that checks for a condition (via an AJAX call) every n seconds. If that condition is true, it stops checking. I have implemented it in the following way: var stopTimer; var timerId = setInterval(function() { /* Make Ajax Calls and set stopTimer */ if (stopTimer) { clearInterval(timerId); } }, 10000); However, I find erratic behaviour: Works sometimes, but at other times, it keeps checking forever. I have checked that (as much as is possible) there is no error in any part of the code. I am therefore suspecting that calling clearInterval inside a setInterval handler might be the culprit. Is that right? Is it OK to call clearInterval inside a setInterval handler? Thank you for your attention
