Resetting a setTimeout

by

You can store a reference to that timeout, and then call clearTimeout on that reference.

// in the example above, assign the result
var timeoutHandle = window.setTimeout(...);

// in your click function, call clearTimeout
window.clearTimeout(timeoutHandle);

// then call setTimeout again to reset the timer
timeoutHandle = window.setTimeout(...);
