clearInterval()

[Joubert__Lew]

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction :-)

I have two machines, machine 1 OS = Windows 10, machine 2 OS = Debian

setInterval() / clearInterval() works fine on the Windows 10 machine.

On Debian setInterval() works, but clearInterval() does not stop the timer.

Same code used on both machines.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Are you sure the timer_id you are passing to clearInterval() is the one you got from setInterval()?

My guess is that your code is making a mistake and isn't passing the right timer id.  Or, maybe you are calling setInterval() more than once?

Thanks for the response Chris - I've checked and double checked, believe me, definately the correct variable, and calling setInterval() only once - as mentioned the identical code works fine under Windows 10.
