Timer not reseting if slide is manually moved with next / prev

[sam-pudle]

Ive set the slider to fade every 5000ms, if i count 3 seconds and then forward the slider manually using

$('a.next').click(function () { $slides.data('superslides').animate('next'); });

The next slide only lasts for 2000ms before moving on, it would seem the timer isnt resetting when the slide is manually moved.

You haven't told the location of timer function. If you are using setInteval then you have to store the reference of that interval in a variable. On the next or previous button click you must clear previous interval and recall setInterval function.

For example

var myVar = setInterval(function(){ myTimer() }, 1000);

$('a.next').click(function (){ myStopFunction(); myVar = setInterval(function(){ myTimer() }, 1000); });

function myTimer() { var d = new Date(); var t = d.toLocaleTimeString(); document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = t; }

function myStopFunction() { clearInterval(myVar);
}
