I am working on a modification of tamper data that will allow me to send the HTTP request/responses it observes to a server. So far, that functionality has been implemented correctly. The next step is to automate this process, and I wish to use a toolbarmenu button of type 'checkbox' to toggle this functionality on and off.
So far I have this bit of code in the .XUL:
<toolbarbutton id="tamper.autosend" label="&tamper.toolbar.autosend;" type="checkbox" oncommand="oTamper.toggleTimer();"/>
And this function in the main driver of my extension:
toggleTimer : function() {
var checked = document.getElementById('tamper.autosend').checked;
var consoleService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/consoleservice;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIConsoleService);
consoleService.logStringMessage(checked);
if (checked) {
var interval = window.setInterval(function(thisObj) { thisObj.sendResults(true); }, 1000, this);
}
else {
window.clearInterval(interval);
}
}
Using the consoleService I see that the value of 'checked' is indeed correct. I believe the problem lies with how I am calling clearInterval, but I'm not exactly sure how to remedy it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You have defined interval inside if try to declare your variable on the start
var interval = 0;
toggleTimer : function() {
var checked = document.getElementById('tamper.autosend').checked;
var consoleService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/consoleservice;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIConsoleService);
consoleService.logStringMessage(checked);
if (checked) {
interval = window.setInterval(function(thisObj) { thisObj.sendResults(true); }, 1000, this);
}
else {
window.clearInterval(interval);
}
}
