setTimeout / clearTimeout problems

by

You need to declare timer outside the function. Otherwise, you get a brand new variable on each function invocation.

var timer;
function endAndStartTimer() {
  window.clearTimeout(timer);
  //var millisecBeforeRedirect = 10000; 
  timer = window.setTimeout(function(){alert('Hello!');},10000); 
}
