<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false -->

<!-- language: lang-js -->

    window.topPos = '';

    var e = document.getElementById("aDiv");
    var s = 1;
    var rotate = false;

    var degrees = 0;


    function myInterval() {
      var eLeftPos = e.offsetLeft;
      e.style.left = (eLeftPos + s) + 'px';


      function rot() {
        degrees++;
        e.style.transform = 'rotate(' + degrees + 'deg)';
      }

      var rotID = setInterval(rot, 1000)

      var leftPos = (eLeftPos + s) >= 1000

      if ((eLeftPos + s) >= 1000) {
        clearInterval(rotID)
        console.log(rotID)
      }


      if ((eLeftPos + s) >= 1000) {

        clearInterval(internal)
      }


    }

    var internal = setInterval(myInterval, 100);

    #aDiv {
      background: black;

There are two JS functions for handling timed events: setTimeout[^] and setInterval[^]. The core difference between these two functions is that setInterval repeats, while setTimeout only happens once.

In your code you're starting this animation using setInterval, and then within the function that runs the animation you're starting another interval every time:

JavaScript

var rotID = setInterval(rot, 1000)

You clear this down only when:

JavaScript

if ((eLeftPos + s) >= 1000) {
  clearInterval(rotID)
  console.log(rotID)
}

Which means that every 100ms you're starting another interval at 1 second, and any that don't get cleared immediately just get left to run without any ability to cancel them. You could consider using setTimeout instead within the myInterval method, which will ensure that you don't end up stacking up interval timers. But even so, it means you're creating new timeouts set to 1 second ahead, every 100ms. I don't think this is what you're intending with your code?
