Can I see if a timer is still running?

Question

Simple question here that I can\'t seem to find an answer for: Once a setTimeout is set, is there any way to see if it\'s still, well, set?

if (         


        

Answer 1

Set another variable Timer_Started = true with your timer. And also change the variable to false when the timer function is called:

// set 'Timer_Started' when you setTimeout
var Timer_Started = true;
var Timer = setTimeout(DoThis,60000);

function DoThis(){

   // function DoThis actions 
   //note that timer is done.
   Timer_Started = false;

}

function Check_If_My_Timer_Is_Done(){

   if(Timer_Started){
      alert("The timer must still be running.");
   }else{
      alert("The timer is DONE.");
   }

}
