Implement a tmer into js function

[alexistkd]

Hi i have already this function im trying to add a timer like this: when value >= 1 and user doesnt move mouse for 1 minute or 60 seconds timer starts and redirect user to a new page but if user moves mouse before 60 seconds end the timer resets again.

function pagar(){
var textarea = document.getElementById ("textarea");
    /*if (event.propertyName.toLowerCase () == "value") {
        alert ("NUEVO VALOR EN EL CAMPO TOTAL: " + event.srcElement.value);
        }*/
if (event.srcElement.value>=1)
{
var bottomMenu = $("#main_footer").bottomMenu([
{name:"backward","class":"red", text:getStr("menu_backward")},
{name:"menu","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_menu"), func:function(){parent.location = "./index.html";}, enabled:false},
{name:"forward","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_pay"), func:forward, enabled:true}
  ]);
  }
     else
{
var bottomMenu = $("#main_footer").bottomMenu([
    {name:"backward","class":"red", text:getStr("menu_backward")},
{name:"menu","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_menu"), func:function()       {parent.location = "./index.html";}, enabled:true},
   {name:"forward","class":"green", text:getStr("menu_pay"), func:forward, enabled:false}
 ]);
  }
     }

want to add a timer after this

    if (event.srcElement.value>=1)
{

of course if value ist >=1 timer doesnt start.

Thanks in advance.

You're using jQuery I guess? You can use the timers plugin alongside the .mousemove() event to reset a timer every time the mouse moves. If this timer gets to 0 you know the mouse didn't move for the duration of the timer.

Get the timers plugin here:
