does jquery has a ajax function similar to Prototype's Ajax.periodcalUpdater?

Question

need to update html page periodically by the data from server, but couldn't find a Jquery ajax function to do that, any suggestion? Thanks.

Answer 1

You should use setInterval().

setInterval(ajaxFunction, 5000);
