Enable/Disable JS

[Chompin]

Hey guys, I've got this external javascript file ( http://epicurus-rsps.net/forum/jscripts/snowstorm.js ), yes, it's a snow plugin.

So I want to make it toggleable, so a user can either toggle to have it on or off (due to it causing some lagg).

Is there a way to enable/disable the use of a js file through the onClick function?

Thanks in advanced.

It looks like it has a method called

this.freeze();

Not sure how you are implimenting it but it should be something like

<button onclick = "snowStorm().freeze()">

You could even do something a little more intuitive on the lines of

<script>
  function ToggleSnowStorm(){
    if(!snowStorm().disabled)
      snowStorm().freeze();
    else
      snowStorm().resume();
</script>
...........
<button onclick = "ToggleSnowStorm()"/>

Obviously the code may not be exact since I don't see your page but this should give you an idea of where to start.

If you look into cookies you could probably use a cookie to see if the user prefers it toggled on or off if you expect to have return visitors.

Actually, snowStorm is an object and not a function. So you should just write snowStorm instead of snowStorm().

My apologies

<script>
  function ToggleSnowStorm(){
    if(!snowStorm.disabled)
      snowStorm.freeze();
    else
      snowStorm.resume();
</script>
...........
<button onclick = "ToggleSnowStorm()"/>

Oh wow... thanks for the input Lesshardtoofind, but theres a flipping .toggle function in the .js D===

Dog dangit!

I figured there should be. Good luck!

so why not use the toggle function?

<input type="button" value="toggle snow" onclick="snowStorm.toggleSnow();">
