stop onmouseover resume onmouseout

[Greg A]

Hi:

What can I add to this script to make it stop scrolling onmouseover, and
resume onmouseout?

Thanks.


<script language="JavaScript">
function getObject( obj ) {
var strObj
if ( document.all ) {
strObj = document.all.item( obj );
} else if ( document.getElementById ) {
strObj = document.getElementById( obj );
}
return strObj;
}
var theTop = 20;
var theHeight = 100;
var theWidth = 150;
var theLeft = 650;
var toClip = 55;

function scrollNews( newsDiv, toMove ) {
theDiv = getObject( newsDiv.toString() );
if ( theDiv == null ) { return; }
if ( document.layers ) {
theDiv.clip.top = toMove;
theDiv.clip.bottom = toMove + toClip;
theDiv.top = theTop - toMove;
} else {
theDiv = theDiv.style;
theDiv.clip = "rect(" + toMove + "px " + (theWidth + theLeft) + "px " +
(toMove + toClip) + "px 0px)";
theDiv.top = theTop - toMove + 'px';
}
if ( ( theTop + theHeight - toMove ) < ( theTop - theHeight - 20 ) ) {
toMove = 0;
if ( document.layers ) {
theDiv.clip.top = theTop;
theDiv.clip.bottom = toClip;
theDiv.top = theTop
} else {
theDiv.clip = "rect(" + toMove + "px " + (theWidth + theLeft) + "px " +
(toMove + toClip) + "px 0px)";
theDiv.top = theTop + 'px';
}
}
toMove = (toMove + 1);
setTimeout("scrollNews('" + newsDiv + "'," + toMove + ")", 100);
}
</script>

Add an onmouseover and onmouseout event handler that will clear the
timeout and restart it.

setTimeout("scrollNews('" + newsDiv + "'," + toMove + ")", 100);

myTimer = setTimeout(..........)

onmouseover = clearTimeout(myTimer)
onmouseout = functionNameThatSetsTheTimerAgain();

Give it a try and post back
