how to override setTimeOut function in javascript

Question

I am using ckeditor plugin in grails. I have this function in ckeditor.js

setTimeout(function(){var u=t.getInputElement();
    u&&u.$.focus();
},0)

---

setTimeout(function(){var u=t.getInputElement();
    if(u){ 
    u.$.focus();
    u.$.select();}},0)

I need to change time out from 0 to say 10000. Now the problem is I that I have asked not to touch ckeditor.js file since it is plugin file and it is used at many places. So I should make changes in some local file which imports ckeditor.js.

So how should I override this function or do something else to change the value of timeout function

Answer 1

create a new javascript file and write the following method

  (function() {
    var oldsetTimeout = setTimeout;
    setTimeout = extendedsetTimeout;
    function extendedsetTimeout() {
       setTimeout();//call old method
       doSomething();
    }
 })();

Good advice: debug source files, not built and minified version...

You most likely mean these lines . Just override CKEDITOR.ui.dialog.textInput.prototype.focus function with your own one and that's it.
