Set time limit for a function

[Alexancho]

I use a js function that moves a background image and i want to stop this moving after a time.I tried to use setTimeout() and clearTimeout() methods, but it doesn't stop the movement.What is the problem?

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">  function MoveBg(){some code} $(function() { var i = setTimeout("MoveBg()" ,200);setTimeout(function(){clearTimeout(i)},10000); }); 	</script>

MoveBg probably has its own call to setTimeout. That would be the interval ID that you need to clear.
