setInterval stops after Ajax request

Question

I\'m using Asp.net MVC and I want my partial view to refresh on an interval, which it does until I make an unrelated Ajax request, then it stops.

Here are a few simp

Answer 1

i wouldn't use setInterval to update the content, as if the content takes more than 1 second to load, you'll have multiple requests in queue..

use setTimeout after the request is complete

function sendRequest(){
    $.ajax({
       /** your post data code **/
       complete : function(xhr, status){
                      setTimeout('sendRequest',1000);
                 }
    });
}

this way the second request wouldn't be made before the first one finishes. and this should solve your problem too.
