onFocus onBlur timer countdown problem

w00h00

Hello I'm newbie in javascript and worked hard today on this and couldn't find the solution.
Please help me.




if (/*@cc_on!@*/false) {
document.onfocusin = startB;
document.onfocusout = stopB;
} else {
window.onfocus = startB;
window.onblur = stopB;
}

var x = 1000;
var y = 1;

function startB() {
if (x !== 'ok') {
x = x - y;
document.form.num.value = x;
timeoutID=setTimeout("startB()", 1000);
}
if (x == 0) {
x = 'ok';
document.form.num.value = x;
}
}

function stopB() {
clearTimeout(timeoutID);
}







When I open this page it counts down with value 1/sec normally and when I change window/tab it stops, I again come back it's continues 1/sec, this is what I want, but I have a big problem --> WHEN I GO TO THIS LINK AND CHANGE WINDOW/TAB VERY QUICKLY, THAT IS STILL UNLOADED, IT STARTS COUNTING DOWN IN ONBLUR STATUS, AND WHEN I COME BACK TO ONFOCUS STATUS, THE FUNCTION IS READ TWICE AND STARTS COUNTING DOWN 1/0.5sec... DOUBLE.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

How does this relate to DataTables? This forum is for questions about the software presented on this site - there are better places to go for general Javascript help.
