Run a JavaScript function continuously repeating with a time interval

Question

This is my first question, and I would appreciate you answering soon.

I would like code to repeat a function continuously... I have tried some code but it hasn\'t worked

Answer 1

you can do this like

var myFunction = function() {
    $('#more').load('bla.php'); 
};

var timer =  setInterval(myFunction, 1000); // call every 1000 milliseconds

or

var timer = setTimeout(myFunction, 1000); // call every 1000 milliseconds

clearTimeout(timer); //To stop the function from being called forever

as @Christofer Eliasson For an Ajax-request, you would probably want to use a timeout instead of an interval, an start the timeout again in the callback, to make sure that you don't stack calls if the server is taking more than 1 second to respond
