You will need to keep a reference to each timeout created in the loop and then repeat and clear each one, otherwise you will just overwrite myVar
with a new timeout without clearing the previous one and get lost as you go, etc.
$(document).ready(function(){
var myVar = []
$("#myfunction").click(myFunction);
$("#mystopfunction").click(myStopFunction);
function myFunction() {
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
myVar.push(
setTimeout(function(){
alert("Hello")
}, 3000)
);
}
}
function myStopFunction() {
myVar.forEach(function(timer) {
clearTimeout(timer);
});
}
});
