jQuery setTimeout issue

Image
By User



I have a simple function that animates a bunch of images by crossfading them. A simple banner rotation. I set up the function so that calling animateSlideshow("play") it should set the timeout and start animating and by calling animateSlideshow("stop") it should stop.





When I call stop, however, the animation happens one more time. What is the cause for this one extra animation and how can I deal with it?







function animateSlideshow(action){



    if(action === "play"){

        $(activeSlide).data('animateSlideshow', 

            setTimeout(function(){



                if( $(actvImg).index() === total - 1 ){

                    $(actvImg).fadeOut(animationSpeed).removeClass("actvImg").siblings().eq(0).fadeIn(animationSpeed).addClass("actvImg");

                }else{

                    $(actvImg).fadeOut(animationSpeed).removeClass("actvImg").next().fadeIn(animationSpeed).addClass("actvImg");

                }



                actvImg = $(".rightSlides li.active .rightSlide > li.actvImg");

                actvImgIndx = $(actvImg).index();

                updateBreadcrumbs();

                animateSlideshow("play")



            }, animationTimeout)

        );

    }else{

        clearTimeout($(activeSlide).data('animateSlideshow'));

    };



};

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
