Hi makenzi.exc,
The setInterval method continues calling a function until clearInterval is called.
You can to stop the execution by calling clearInterval method.
Refer below example.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Start" onclick="Start()" />
<input type="button" value="Stop" onclick="Stop()" />
<hr />
<label id="lblMessage"></label>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 60;
var timer;
function Start() {
timer = setInterval(function () {
// Set Label every 1 second.
document.getElementById("lblMessage").innerHTML = "Remaining Time " + i + " seconds";
i--;
}, 1000);
};
function Stop() {
// Stop execution.
clearInterval(timer);
i = 60;
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
