Hi All,
I have web page where the datas are refreshed by calling Asp.net web service from javascript. I am using javascript setInterval() for updating the datas periodically, also using clearInterval() for stopping this javscript timer. In total the page gets details from 3 different web services. Once the data is received the setinterval delay will be set to 20 seconds(initial setInterval delay is 2 seconds). But some times even after receiving the data and setting the setinterval delay to 20 seconds, setInterval calls continuously. Please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks

Here's a little demo about clearing the timer in the given funtion:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--
var time, timer, counter;
counter = 21;

Function.prototype.count = function( DELAY ) {
return setInterval( this, DELAY );
}

timer = function() {
   if ( counter ===  0 ) { 
    clearInterval( time );
      { return alert( "The timer has been cleared!" ); 
      } 
   } div = ( document.getElementById ) ? document.getElementById("output") : document.all.output; 
   return div.innerHTML = ( counter -= 1 );
}

window.onload = function() {
time = timer.count( 1000 );
}

Essential,
My issue is even after clearing the timer the timer doesn't stops.
For checking this particular issue i put a button which fires the
clearInterval() on clicking. Then i simulate the condition again,
when the issue occures again i clicked the button for clearing the
timer,also i put an alert box before and after the clearInterval(), still
the timer is not stoping.
Thanks
