Jquery: mousedown effect (while left click is held down)

by

I believe something like this would work: 

var timeout, clicker = $('#clicker');

clicker.mousedown(function(){
    timeout = setInterval(function(){
        // Do something continuously 
    }, 500);

    return false;
});

$(document).mouseup(function(){
    clearInterval(timeout);
    return false;
});

See this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/8FmRd/
