Class Timer

java.lang.Object

elemental.util.Timer

public abstract class Timer
extends Object

A simplified, browser-safe timer class. This class serves the same purpose as java.util.Timer, but is simplified because of the single-threaded environment. To schedule a timer, simply create a subclass of it (overriding run()) and call schedule(int) or scheduleRepeating(int).
