Hi I'm trying to create a script which can stop every Javascript function. e.g

<button onclick='doSomething()'></button>

or

setInterval(doSomething, 200);

Is it possible to stop and disable those functions with another Javascript-File I mean get every interval like getElementByTanName(interval) and the a for function to clear them all

  • put the interval in a variable, and then clear it using `clearTimeout` – evolutionxbox Mar 28 '17 at 14:38

  • @evolutionxbox do you know how to clear every interval without knowing the var name of them like getElementByTagName(intervals) – Steph Programm Mar 29 '17 at 10:29
  • There seem to be 3 possible questions here: 1) [how to remove all event handlers](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4386300/javascript-dom-how-to-remove-all-events-of-a-dom-object) attached to the DOM; 2) how to stop all timeouts and intervals -- see previous comments; and 3) can you stop functions that have already been triggered by a timer or event handler? I think the answer to 3 is no. – Stuart Mar 29 '17 at 10:41

You need assing interval to variable, then you will be able to stop it using clearInterval function.

var interval = setInterval(function, 5000)
if(finished){
    clearInterval(interval);
}
