Well, I tried, I really tried.
I have the following code:
function test(isExpanding)
{
var x=start+"%,*";
if(isExpanding==1)
start++;
else
start--;
top.$("#main_frame").attr("cols",x);
alert(x);
if(isExpanding==1 && start<21)
setTimeout(test(isExpanding),500);
else if(isExpanding==0 && start>1)
setTimeout(test(isExpanding),500);
}
That code is called like this first time:
setTimeout(test(0),500);
This code immediately reaches var start=2, no transition, no
iterations ( I alerted it, and alert popped up once).
I just can't understand the logic that goes behind this. Each call
should increase or decrease var start with one then call itself
instead it goes...randomly, abnormally. The lack of debugging also
bothers me, it had become rough guessing of where the error could be.
God, I miss my C#....
So, can you suggest anything else?
