This loops forever, how do I stop it at the marked location? 

$.fn.writeText = function(content) { var contentArray = content.split(""), current = 0, elem = this; setInterval(function() { if(current < contentArray.length) { elem.text(elem.text() + contentArray[current++]); } else{ //stop here. } }, 100); }; $("#ID").writeText("Texty text text");

Thanks. I think it's supposed to be clearTimeout(), but I'm not sure how.

Use clearTimeout() as shown :-

$.fn.writeText = function(content) { var timer; var contentArray = content.split(""), current = 0, elem = this; timer = setInterval(function() { if(current < contentArray.length) { elem.text(elem.text() + contentArray[current++]); } else{ clearTimeout(timer); } }, 100); }; $("#ID").writeText("Texty text text");
