calling setTimeout with a for loop

Question

I\'ve written a function that changes the css positioning of a div

I\'ve been successfully using setTimeout to call the function at a specific interval

NOW what

Answer 1

You need to "anchor" the value of your loop iterator, otherwise it keeps incrementing and all the intervals affect the 29th one, which doesn't exist.

for(var x=0; x<28; x++) {
    (function(x) {
        // code goes here
    })(x);
}

However, 28 timers on one page is a really bad idea. Consider rewriting your code so that you only have one interval that calculates the new positions based on the speed value.
