odd behavior setting timeouts inside a function with global references in javascript
- by Pablo
Here is the the function and the globals:
$note_instance = Array();
$note_count = 0;
function create(text){
count = $note_count++;
time = 5000;
$note_instance[count] = $notifications.notify("create", text);
setTimeout(function(){ $note_instance[count].close() }, time);
}
The function simply opens a notification, a sets a timeout to close it in 5 seconds.
so if i call this
create("Good Note 1");
create("Good Note 2");
create("Good Note 3");
Ecah note should close 5 seconds from their creation, however always and only the last note closes, in this case "Good Note 3".
Each note object has its own entry in the the $note_instance global array so the timeouts should no be overwriting themselves.
What am i missing here folks? Thanks in advance
