I put this code in theTimer.js file:
// The constructor should be called with
// the parent object (optional, defaults to window).
function Timer(){
this.obj = (arguments.length)?arguments[0]:window;
return this;
}
// The set functions should be called with:
// - The name of the object method (as a string) (required)
// - The millisecond delay (required)
// - Any number of extra arguments, which will all be
// passed to the method when it is evaluated.
Timer.prototype.setInterval = function(func, msec){
var i = Timer.getNew();
var t = Timer.buildCall(this.obj, i, arguments);
Timer.set[i].timer = window.setInterval(t,msec);
return i;
}
Timer.prototype.setTimeout = function(func, msec){
var i = Timer.getNew();
Timer.buildCall(this.obj, i, arguments);
Timer.set[i].timer = window.setTimeout("Timer.callOnce("+i+");",msec);
return i;
}
// The clear functions should be called with
// the return value from the equivalent set function.
Timer.prototype.clearInterval = function(i){
if(!Timer.set[i]) return;
window.clearInterval(Timer.set[i].timer);
Timer.set[i] = null;
}
Timer.prototype.clearTimeout = function(i){
if(!Timer.set[i]) return;
window.clearTimeout(Timer.set[i].timer);
Timer.set[i] = null;
}
// Private data
Timer.set = new Array();
Timer.buildCall = function(obj, i, args){
var j, t="";
Timer.set[i] = Timer.getData(obj);
if(obj != window){
t = "Timer.set["+i+"].obj.";
}
t = t + args[0] + "(";
for(j=0; (j+2)<args.length; j++){
Timer.set[i][j] = args[j+2];
if(j>0) t = t + ", ";
t = t + "Timer.set["+i+"]["+j+"]";
}
t = t + ");";
Timer.set[i].call = t;
return t;
}
Timer.callOnce = function(i){
if(!Timer.set[i]) return;
eval(Timer.set[i].call);
Timer.set[i] = null;
}
Timer.getData = function(obj){
var data = new Array();
data.obj = obj;
data.call = "void(0);";
data.timer = null;
return data;
}
Timer.getNew = function(){
var i = 0;
while(Timer.set[i]) i++;
return i;
}
And I call it from the <head> like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="theTimer.js"></script>
And put this:
function SearchKeyDown(whatCell) {SearchKeyDown.timer.setTimeout('run',1000,whatCell);}
SearchKeyDown.timer = new Timer(SearchKeyDown);
SearchKeyDown.run = function(whatCell){setTimeout("whatCell.style.color='red';"}
in the script too...
I call the function from an input like this:
<input onKeyDown="javascript:SearchKeyDown(this);" ...>
And I still get an error...
Where did I do it wrong?
