stop Javascript function with another Javascript call?

Question

In the original Javascript is there I want this to stop it

setTimeout('open_popup()',  200);

What is function To stop this from another file js

When you put a string in setTimeout, it will be evaled. setTimeout expects a function as a first parameter, so you'll be fine just using setTimeout(open_popup, 200). — Zirak

setTimeout returns a handle that you can use the clear the timeout:

var timer = setTimeout(open_popup,  200);

clearTimeout(timer);

That of course assumes you put the timer variable in a scope that is accessible to both scripts and that you clear the timeout before it fires.

Also note that he passed the actual function to setTimeout(), and not a string to be eval()d. Using eval() (or any other function that internally eval()s code) is usually considered a bad practice. See stackoverflow.com/questions/86513/…
