Throttle event calls in jQuery

Question

I have a keyup event bound to a function that takes about a quarter of a second to complete.

$(\"#search\").keyup(function() {
  //code that tak         


        

Answer 1

Take a look at jQuery Debounce.

$('#search').keyup($.debounce(function() {
    // Will only execute 300ms after the last keypress.
}, 300));
