stopping page reload when button is clicked

I am trying to reload a page with a button in it. When the user click on the button an alert window should popup and the page reload should stop until ok is clicked on the alert window.

I am writing my code as follows:

<button id="myButton" onclick="myfunction()"> Test </button>

<script type="text/javascript">

 function myfunction()
  {
    if ( document.getElementById("myButton").onclick == false )
     {
        window.setTimeout(function(){ document.location.reload(true); }, 1000);
     }
    else
    {
       alert ( "Timer Not Set." );
    }
  }
</script>

Neither the if or else conditions are working.

Use setInterval and then clearInterval whenever you want to pause or stop, and then reassign setInterval to resume.

Something on the lines of this:

var timer = window.setInterval(reloader, 3000);

$("#btn").on("click", function() {
    clearInterval(timer);
    alert("Just click ok");
    timer = window.setInterval(reloader, 3000);
});

function reloader() {
    document.location.reload(true);
}
