Scrolling jquery with timeout

Question

I set a timeout with jquery in the scroll action. For example, after scrolling, wait 10 seconds and send an ajax request, but how to undo the previous timeout if you received a new scroll action with the first disconnected disconnected?

Answer 1

Use clearTimeout :

 var timer; $(window).scroll(function(){ if ( timer ) clearTimeout(timer); timer = setTimeout(function(){ // Make your AJAX request here... }, 10000); });
