AJAX to show/hide div

rated 0 times [ 66] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 25113 / 10 Years ago, wed, april 9, 2014, 12:00:00

I want to implement a ajax call to a page every 3 seconds.
It will either return 0 if false or a html snippet like <div>Content</div>

How should I proceed to place or remove that div on the page according to what ajax returns ?

Use setInterval()

setInterval(ajaxCall, 3000);



function ajaxCall() {

   $.ajax({url:url,

           type:'html',

           success:function(result){

             if(result==0)

               $('#content').hide();

              else

                $('#content').html(result).show();  



            }

        });

 }







 <div id=content>Content</div>
