getElapsedTime Not Working #16

Closed thorst closed 11 years ago

thorst commented 11 years ago

The following line outputs an object, instead of the elapsed time in ms

console.log($(document).idleTimer("getElapsedTime"));

thorst commented 11 years ago

This may be an error in my understanding.

I was looking for a function that gave me the users inactive time.

Not the time since they WENT inactive.

In other words i was looking for the time since last active, regardless of whether the idle.idleTimer event fired.

I will fork and add.

Never mind, something else seems to be the issue. If i use the demo and move my mouse it will sometimes say its active, other times it ignores my mouse movement and says ive been inactive.

I've noticed this too. $( document ).idleTimer("getElapsedTime"); returns the document element for me, rather than an integer. However, $.idleTimer("getElapsedTime"); does work.
