Simple timeout controller for javascript, for browser and node.js

timeout.js

function timeoutJob(jobName, time, callback) {
	var self = this;
	
	if (timeoutJob.jobs == undefined) {
		timeoutJob.jobs = {};
	}
	
	if (timeoutJob.jobs[jobName] != undefined) {
		clearTimeout(timeoutJob.jobs[jobName]);
	}
	
	timeoutJob.jobs[jobName] = setTimeout(function() {
		delete timeoutJob.jobs[jobName];
		callback.call(self);
	}, time);
}

if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
  window.timeoutJob = timeoutJob;
} else if (typeof global !== "undefined") {
  module.exports = timeoutJob;
}

example

something.onkeyup = function() {
  timeoutJob("something shouldn't work again and again", 1000, function() {
    console.log("done");
  });
};

It executes the code when client stops writing. It's good for filter mechanisms.
