How do I call a jQuery function every 3 seconds?
$(document).ready(function ()
{
//do stuff...
$('post').each(function()
{
//do stuff...
})
//do stuff...
})
I'm trying to run that code for a period of 15 seconds.
None of the answers so far take into account that it only wants to happen for 15 seconds and then stop...
$(function() {
var intervalID = setInterval(function() {
// Do whatever in here that happens every 3 seconds
}, 3000);
setTimeout(function() {
clearInterval(intervalID);
}, 18000);
});
This creates an interval (every 3 seconds) that runs whatever code you put in the function. After 15 seconds the interval is destroyed (there is an initial 3 second delay, hence the 18 second overall runtime).
