title: Can I see if a timer is still running?
body: <p>Simple question here that I can't seem to find an answer for: Once a <code>setTimeout</code> is set, is there any way to see if it's still, well, set?</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (!Timer)
  {
      Timer = setTimeout(DoThis,60000);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From what I can tell, when you <code>clearTimeout</code>, the variable remains at its last value. A <code>console.log</code> I just looked at shows <code>Timer</code> as being '12', no matter if the timeout has been set or cleared. Do I have to null out the variable as well, or use some other variable as a boolean saying, yes, I have set this timer? Surely there's a way to just check to see if the timeout is still running... right? I don't need to know how long is left, just if it's still running.</p>
