Why clearInterval not working...

var stop = setInterval(autoFill,200); function autoFill(){ $(".ui-autocomplete-input:eq(0)").val("NEW DELHI - NDLS"); $(".ui-autocomplete-input:eq(1)").val("SHMATA VD KATRA - SVDK"); $(".hasDatepicker:eq(0)").val("19-05-2018"); $("[name='jpform:jpsubmit']:eq(0)").click(function(){clearInterval(stop);}); $("[name='jpform:jpsubmit']:eq(0)").click();}

Fata1 Err0r I used setTimeout to execute the function and it is also putting the function in loop... amazing

Button is getting clicked and the function bound to it is also being executed....but clearInterval didn't remove the timer....and function keeps on looping....

Try putting your click event outside of the function that's being looped with the interval. I put together a quick example for you so you can see it in action. If you post a link to your whole code, I can correct it if you can't get it working. EXAMPLE: https://code.sololearn.com/WUqY88ljyPtV/#html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.js"></script> </head> <body> <button id="clearInt" >Clear</button> </body> <script> var stop = setInterval(function(){ console.log("Running"); }, 1000); $('#clearInt').click(function(){ clearInterval(stop); console.log("Stopped"); }); </script> </html>
