clearTimeout without ID

Question

Is there any way to clear setTimeout() if it doesn\'t have an explicit ID? The problem is I\'m not allowed to change some code that already ran and set the tim

Answer 1

No. The clearTimeout method requires that the ID returned from setTimeout be provided in order to remove the timeout.

Could you post some more information about your scenario? Perhaps some code snippets? There may be a way to work around the scenario.
