I have the following code snippets

$(document).mousedown(function(event) {

    doSomething();

}

I can capture the mousedown event successfully.

I am trying to do the following:

Capture the first mousedown event

I want to detect if the user is still holding the mouse down so I can do something else.

Something like

var mouseStillDown = false;



$(document).mousedown(function(event) {

    mouseStillDown = true;

    doSomething();

});



function doSomething() {

    if (!mouseStillDown) { return; } // we could have come back from

                                     // SetInterval and the mouse is no longer down

    // do something



    if (mouseStillDown) { setInterval(doSomething, 100); }

}



$(document).mouseup(function(event) {

    mouseStillDown = false;

});
