Hey Mark,
The plugin uses a recursive function to achieve the countdown. You
can cancel the countdown by checking a global variable with each
decrement in the number.
Line 19:
$(this).animate({
'fontSize': settings.endFontSize
},settings.duration,'',function() {
if (cancel_countdown == 1) return; // this cancels the
countdown
if(to > settings.endNumber + 1) {
$(this).css('fontSize',settings.startFontSize).text(to
- 1).countDown(settings,to - 1);
}
else
{
settings.callBack(this);
}
});
You'll need to set the global variable 'cancel_countdown' when
starting, and canceling the countdown.
HTML:
<input id="start_countdown" type="button"></input>
<input id="cancel_countdown" type="button"></input>
More jQuery:
$("input#start_countdown").click(function(){
// start countdown code
cancel_countdown = 0;
});
$("input#stop_countdown").click(function(){
cancel_countdown = 1;
});
Hope this helps,
Renato.
