JS - How to clear interval after using setInterval() [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you were planning on only running the function once, I would suggest using Window SetTimeout() Method as it executes once, making clearing the interval after one run redundant.

Answer 2

var interval = setInterval(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "test.php",
        success: function(result) {
            $("#results").append(result);
        }
    });
}, 1000);

clearInterval(interval);

Answer 3

Use clear interval method clearInterval(); pass your variable in which you setInterval.

For example:

var refreshIntervalId = setInterval(fname, 10000);

clearInterval(refreshIntervalId);

Answer 4

You need to use the clearInterval function

    var interval = setInterval()....
    clearInterval(interval);
