clearInterval not working!..please help!

[mcerveni]

I need to clearInterval, and instead it keeps looping.

Any reason why??

 

code below.

 

 

 

 

function requestforbreak(id,name) {


requestbreak(id,name);
empid=id;

interval = setInterval("checkforbreaks();",1000);

}


function requestbreak(id,name){


http.open('get', '../../queuecenter/include/requestBreak.php?empID='+id+'&agentName='+name);
http.onreadystatechange = function(){


if(http.readyState == 4){ 

var response = http.responseText;

document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML = ' ' +response+ '';

}

}
http.send(null);

}



function checkforbreaks(){

http.open('get', '../../queuecenter/include/breakPending.php?empID='+empid);
http.onreadystatechange = function(){


if(http.readyState == 4){ 

	var response = http.responseText;


		if(response == 'false'){

		clearInterval(interval);	
		document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML ='Done';	

		}

document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML = ' ' +response+ '';



		}

	}
http.send(null);

}

Hi

 

Can't see anything obvious (I presume the scope of interval is appropriate).

 

Only thing I can think of is that if breakPending.php takes a while to return then you could have numerous requests which will return and trigger the onreadystatechange (and continue to do so even if you have cancelled the timer, just no fresh ones will be set up).

 

All the best

Try the following.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function requestforbreak(id,name) {
requestbreak(id,name);
empid=id;

interval = window.setInterval("checkforbreaks();",1000);
}


function requestbreak(id,name){
http.open('get', '../../queuecenter/include/requestBreak.php?empID='+id+'&agentName='+name);
http.onreadystatechange = function(){
	if(http.readyState == 4){

	var response = http.responseText;

	document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML = ' ' +response+ '';
	}
}
http.send(null);
}



function checkforbreaks(){

http.open('get', '../../queuecenter/include/breakPending.php?empID='+empid);
http.onreadystatechange = function(){
   if(http.readyState == 4){

	  var response = http.responseText;
		 if(response == 'false'){
			 window.clearInterval(interval);   
			 document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML ='Done';   
		 }

		document.getElementById('breakreqmsg').innerHTML = ' ' +response+ '';
	}

    }
   http.send(null);
}
</script>
