I have an application using JavaScript's setInterval() to run a digital clock. I was wondering if it has a timeout, or limit, to the amount of times it can execute this function.

No, the given function will keep being executed until you clear the interval manually with clearInterval()

Note that in most browsers, your function will still be executed when the page is in a background tab, but mobile browsers (notably IOS5 Safari) may free the page until its focused / visible again.
