You want to add a way to stop the primality test before the end in case it's taking too long? Try this: put a button with onclick calling a function that sets a boolean to false, then in the main function initialize that bool to true before the loop, and check the bool in your loop condition (while (mybool && ...)). Other tips: - when searching factors, you can stop the loop once you reach the square root of the number you are testing - if you are testing really large numbers, it may be more interesting to use a probabilistic primality test (like Fermat or Miller-Rabin) rather than a deterministic one.

First of all, your primality test should look like this, correct? function IsPrime(var n) { n = Math.abs(n); if (n < 2) return false; var f = 2; var prime = true; while (prime && (f <= Math.sqrt(n)) { prime = (n % f != 0); f++; } return prime; }
