Joris,

Yes, absolutely. In fact, I've already done this in the xb.setTimeout(..) function that I use in my personal projects, but I neglected to update this entry.

Thanks for pointing this out, I will update it.

in sstchur.web.js.xb.setTimeout() wouldn't it be better to change the last line:
window.setTimeout(proxy, ms);
to
return window.setTimeout(proxy, ms);
so one can use window.clearTimeout();

var blah = sstchur.web.js.xb.setTimeout(fn, 100, 'yay');
window.clearTimeout(blah);

i come across this site and find that you are knowledgable in javascript. hope you can help me in solving this problem.

Is there a way to keep track of the settimeout, so i won't duplicate the the function i am calling? for example,

if Not IsExist(MyFunctionTimer) {
setTimeout(MyFunction, 1);
}
