//  Again, what you name the function is clearly up to you, I wouldn't really recommend my example name as it is just plain bad :P
function stopType() {
	//  The following if statement will check if your timer has been assigned yet, and if so, clears it so it will no longer continue to your work function
	if (tmrStopType!= undefined) clearTimeout(tmrStopType);
	//  The following will attempt to start your work function after 2 seconds unless interrupted and reset by previous if statement
	//  Also, many people would rather write this statement as tmrStopType= setTimeout(stopTypeWork(), 2000);
	//  If, you want to, that is fine, i don't because it is not a style of timer writing that is readable to ALL browsers, however, the following is
	tmrStopType= setTimeout(function (){ stopTypeWork() }, 2000);
