[jQuery] Threshold for saving content with AJAX</span></a></span> </h1> <p class="darkgray font13"> <span class="sender pipe"><a href="/search?l=jquery-en@googlegroups.com&q=from:%22%5C%5BEMAIL+PROTECTED%5C%5D%22" rel="nofollow"><span itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><span itemprop="name">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</span></span></a></span> <span class="date"><a href="/search?l=jquery-en@googlegroups.com&q=date:20070513" rel="nofollow">Sun, 13 May 2007 16:11:02 -0700</a></span> </p> </div> <div itemprop="articleBody" class="msgBody">  <pre> Confusing title, but what I'm looking for can't really be summed up in a sentence [ bonus points if you can ].</pre><pre> Basically I have a onkeyup binded to a <textarea>, and the function the onkeyup calls sends the data to the server to be saved. I'm wondering if a method to only send the data when you stop typing exists. So basically you can be typing a paragraph quickly, and it won't call the function, but once you stop typing [say 5 seconds after the last key up], the function is called. What I think would be the best [and possibly only] way to achieve this, is to check the last time the function was called, and do a setTimeout() for 5 seconds, and when this check function is called again, it clears the timeout and starts it again. Is there any other way? </pre> </div> <div class="msgButtons margintopdouble"> <ul class="overflow"> <li class="msgButtonItems"><a class="button buttonleft buttondisabled" accesskey="p" href="#">Previous message</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="c" href="thrd15.html#04282">View by thread</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="i" href="mail15.html#04282">View by date</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textalignright"><a class="button buttonright " accesskey="n" href="msg04283.html">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <a name="tslice"></a> <div class="tSliceList margintopdouble"> <ul class="icons monospace"> <li class="icons-email tSliceCur"><span class="subject">[jQuery] Threshold for saving <textarea> content w...</span> <span class="sender italic">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg04283.html">[jQuery] Re: Threshold for saving <textarea> ...</a></span> <span class="sender italic">spinnach</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg04285.html">[jQuery] Re: Threshold for saving <textarea&...</a></span> <span class="sender italic">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg04308.html">[jQuery] Re: Threshold for saving <texta...</a></span> <span class="sender italic">spinnach</span></li> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg04320.html">[jQuery] Re: Threshold for saving <texta...</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Fil</span></li> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </div> <div class="overflow msgActions margintopdouble"> <div class="msgReply" > <h2> Reply via email to </h2> <form method="POST" action="/mailto.php"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="[jQuery] Threshold for saving <textarea> content with AJAX"> <input type="hidden" name="msgid" value="1179097843.733423.214370@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com"> <input type="hidden" name="relpath" value="jquery-en@googlegroups.com/msg04282.html"> <input type="submit" value=" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "> </form> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aside" role="complementary"> <div class="logo"> <a href="/"><img src="/logo.png" width=247 height=88 alt="The Mail Archive"></a> </div> <form class="overflow" action="/search" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="l" value="jquery-en@googlegroups.com"> <label class="hidden" for="q">Search the site</label> <input class="submittext" type="text" id="q" name="q" placeholder="Search jquery-en"> <input class="submitbutton" name="submit" type="image" src="/submit.png" alt="Submit"> </form> <div class="nav margintop" id="nav" role="navigation"> <ul class="icons font16"> <li class="icons-home"><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li class="icons-list"><a href="/jquery-en@googlegroups.com/">jquery-en - all messages</a></li> <li class="icons-about"><a href="/jquery-en@googlegroups.com/info.html">jquery-en - about the list</a></li> <li class="icons-expand"><a href="/search?l=jquery-en@googlegroups.com&q=subject:%22%5C%5BjQuery%5C%5D+Threshold+for+saving+%3Ctextarea%3E+content+with+AJAX%22&o=newest&f=1" title="e" id="e">Expand</a></li> <li class="icons-prev"><a href="#" title="p">Previous message</a></li> <li class="icons-next"><a href="msg04283.html" title="n">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="listlogo margintopdouble"> <a href="#"><img src="/jquery-en@googlegroups.com/logo.png" alt="jquery-en"></a> </div> <div class="margintopdouble"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <ul> <li><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#newlist">Add your mailing list</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#support">Support</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li class="darkgray">1179097843.733423.214370@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
