Smart-JavaScript-Timings

Small script that allows you to use setTimeout and setInterval safety in consideration with page visibility. This script is especially useful in using with animation in sliders, galleries, something with auto play, etc. Usage is pretty easy and almost the same as with well-known setTimeout() and setInterval():

set_timeout(func, delay);
	- func: function to execute
	- delay: delay before execution of function, in ms

set_interval(func, delay, variable, scope);
	- func: function to execute
	- delay: delay between executions (repeat) of function, in ms
	- variable: String name of variable where to store interval id. Not required
	- scope: Object where to search variable. By default equal to "window". Not required

For example:

/* Timeout */
set_timeout(function(){ alert('x') }, 5000)

// or:
var foo = set_timeout(function(){ alert('x') }, 5000);

// and to cancel it:
clearTimeout(foo); 


/* Interval */
set_interval(function(){ alert('x') }, 5000)

// or:
var bar = set_interval(function(){ alert('x') }, 5000, 'bar');

// and to cancel it:
clearTimeout(bar); //Pay attention that there is "clearTimeout", NOT "clearInterval"
