Javascript setInterval every 5 seconds

rated 0 times [ 18] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 20582 / 8 Years ago, mon, february 29, 2016, 12:00:00

I would like to set an interval of 5 seconds between each alert. Found this thread:

setInterval(function() {

    alert(Message to alert every 5 seconds);

}, 5000);

But where do I put the setInterval() in order to alert every 5 seconds?

$(window).scroll(function() {

    if (checkVisible($('#footer'))) {

        alert(I DONT SEE A FOOTER);

    } else {

        alert(EUREKA - I SEE A FOOTER);

    }

});



function checkVisible(elm, eval) {

    eval = eval || visible;

    var vpH = $(window).height(), // Viewport Height

        st = $(window).scrollTop(), // Scroll Top

        y = $(elm).offset().top,

        elementHeight = $(elm).height();



    if (eval == visible) 

        return ((y < (vpH + st)) && (y > (st - elementHeight)));



    if (eval == above) 

        return ((y < (vpH + st)));

}

Many thanks in advance.

You can put in load function

$(document).ready(function()

{

     setInterval(function() {

        alert(Message to alert every 5 seconds);

     }, 5000);

});
