Repeating a function whilst mouse button is pressed?

[starblood]

I have function that will execute a 3% zoom on a picture (java applet) when the OnClick is pressed.

Is there a way to get the function to repeat continuously if the mouse button remains pressed?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function ZoomInApplet()
{
document.ptviewer.ZoomIn()
}
</script>

<a href="#" OnClick="javascript:ZoomInApplet()">Zoom In</a>

Create a global boolean variable, set it to false on page load and mouse up, and true on mouse down.

Then execute a timer to fire every n milliseconds (using setInterval) and fire your zoom function if the flag is true.

Hope this helps,
Dan
