[Javascript] Monitor an offsetHeight value

[Guillaume]

Stefan, Paul, and all others who haven't replied yet...

Here's my function below re-aranged according to your replies...
I still don't understand why, when checkOptSli() is called, I always get the else statement... Not being able
to compare an initial value to a listened one...

Can someone please light up the path a bit...

Regards,

Guillaume.

 
function checkOptSli() { // This is fired when a user clicks a link

  var sto2 = 0;

 sto2ID = setTimeout("checkOptJ();", 2000);

}

function checkOptJ() {

    var optsh0 = checkOptK;

    optsh3 = optsh0;// Initial value (offsetHeight) of element

    var optsh1 = 0;  

    var optsh1ID = setTimeout("checkOptL();", 2000);

    optsh4 = optsh1ID;// Value to be listened to and compared to the previous one above

          if ( optsh4 > optsh3 ) {

  

              alert( "things have moved" );

            }

            

          else {

          

          alert( "quiet" );

  

                           

            }

 

 }

           

   function checkOptK(){ // Fired on the onload so we have a value as starting point

      var opts1 = document.getElementById("options");

      moveBy1 = opts1.offsetHeight;

      posTn3 = 0 - moveBy1; 

      parseInt( posTn3 );

      return posTn3;

      }
 

  function checkOptL(){ // Looped inside a setTimeout to see if this value is changing... 
			// And compare it inside the checkOptJ()function to the checkOptK()resulting value

      var opts2 = document.getElementById("options");

      moveBy2 = opts2.offsetHeight;

      posTn4 = 0 - moveBy2;

      parseInt( posTn4 );

      return posTn4;

      }
