How can I stop a setTimeout() function? 1

[daph]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if there is a way to cancel or stop a setTimeout() function once it has started. Sometimes it works perfectly, but on certain occasions, the user would have to wait till the time out is over with before starting a new action....is there a function to do this?
I hope I'm clear on my question...if not, I'll explain in details on request..

Thanks
