I am developing a plugin that I want to use 3 or 4 times on the same page.

The problem I am having is that each instance of the plugin sets an interval  using setInterval(...) that I need to be able to clear/pause with; clearInterval(interval-id); and restart.

I cant see a way of holding onto the unique interval-ids - i.e. I end up with the interval-id for all instances being the value of the interval-id for the last plugin instance that was created.

I understand why this is happening but I am wondering if there is some kind of "trick" that can be used to create a more partitioned OO style plugin where var's are scoped to the instance/object level.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Rob
