How to cancel any outstanding javascript on a page

January 26, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

If you have a webpage, and you need to stop all javascript routines from running. That is, any routine started by setTimeout, and executing in a separate thread. Even if you do not have a reference to the value returned by setTimeout, then you can just clear all timeouts as follows;

var maxTimeout = setTimeout(‘null’,1);
for(i=0;i<maxTimeout;i++)
{
clearTimeout(i);
}
