I'm looking to setup a web page that samples data via AJAX calls from an embedded web-server. How would I set up the code so that one request doesn't overlap another? I should mention I have very little JavaScript experience and also a compelling reason not to use external libraries of any size bigger than maybe 10 or so kilobytes. ...
How does setInterval handle callback functions that take longer than the desired interval? I've read that the callback may receive the number of milliseconds late as its first argument, but I was unable to find why it would be late (jitter, or long running functions). And the wonderful follow up, does it behave differently for the comm...
I have a simple system that refreshes a div every few seconds: $(document).ready(function() { $("#nownext").load("response.php"); var refreshId = setInterval(function() { $("#nownext").load('response.php?randval='+ Math.random()); }, 20000); }); Now, because of what the content is, it is more likel...
HTML: <div id="coin1"></div> JS: $(document).ready(function(){ function changeImage(){ if($("#coin1").css("display") == "none"){ $("#coin1").fadeIn("slow"); }else{ $("#coin1").fadeOut("slow"); } }; setInterval ( "changeImage()", 2000 ); }); I can't get this to work... If I just do changeImage(); it works fi...
Hi, Just came across this. It's not affecting anything really but i'm wondering why it's happening. If I run the following code in firefox with firebug on: setInterval(function(param) { console.log("param is %o",param) },500); param seems to be assigned a vaguely random value: param is -2 param is -1 p...
Hi all, I have this code window.onload = function() { function foo() { alert("test"); } setInterval("foo()",500) } Which returns undefined...When i use it outside the window.onload it works. Can anyone explain me why? ...
$('.button').click(); The above code works great to click all buttons on the page at once, but I am trying to fire off clicks every half or second or so until the jQuery Object has looped i.e. $(function(){ $('.button').each(function(){ setInterval('$(this).click()', 500); }); }); Can some one tell me how I can d...
I have a jQuery setInterval function named "timerIncrement" that times out (stops incrementing the variable [licount]) after x-seconds. to resume this interval I have a .mousemove function which looks like this: $(this).mousemove(function(){ licount = 0; timerIncrement(); }); what I'm looking for is a way to do this exact thing (res...
I first encountered a problem with safari, where set interval would behave unpredicatbly when the function name was not enclosed within quotations (and optionally it seams with added parentheses): repeatInterval = setInterval("foo()", 50); Upon changing my code to read in this way, it seams it does not get executed at all in the Mac v...
Here is my code: var showNo = 1; window.setInterval(function() { console.log(showNo); if(showNo === 1) { var nextNo = 2; } else if(showNo === 2) { var nextNo = 3; } else if(showNo === 3) { var nextNo = 4; } else if(showNo === 4) { var nextNo = 5; } else if(show...
Hi folks, In my app I am polling the webserver for messages every second and displaying them in the frontend. I use setInterval to achieve this. However as long as the user stays on that page the client keeps polling the server with requests even if there is no data. The server does give an indication when no more messages are being gene...
I think I might be overtired but I cannot for the life of me make sense of this, and I think it's due to a lack of knowledge of javascript var itv=function(){ return setInterval(function(){ sys.puts('interval'); }, 1000); } var tout=function(itv){ return setTimeout(function(){ sys.puts('timeout'); clearInterval(itv); }, 5500);...
Can anyone tell me how do this? They are already integers, so I'm not sure what to try... var lrgSlideShow = { activeClass: 'active', wrapperClass: 'slideshow-widget-large', pauseLength: 2000, fadeLength: 1000 } setInterval(changeImg,lrgSlideShow.pauseLength+lrgSlideShow.fadeLength); ...
Hello everybody, Once again I find myself stuck by something that I just don't understand. Any help would be appreciated. I'm working on a modal window, you click something and the background is masked and a modal window shows some content. I have a div with "display:none" and "opacity:0", and when the user triggers the modal, this div w...
It's my second question of the day related to the same problem, so I apologize for that. I was able to put together a function to "fade out" an element, and it works just fine, my problem is that when I try to reverse it, so the element "fades in" it does not work. I've tried to change the obvious, but I can't understand what I'm doing ...

I'm wanting to create a shoutbox, though I'm wondering if there is another way to go about this rather than using setInterval to query the database for new shouts every number of seconds. Honestly, I don't like having to go about it this way. Seems a bit redundant and repetitive and just plain old wrong. Not to mention the blinking of...
I need to access this from my setInterval handler prefs: null, startup : function() { // init prefs ... this.retrieve_rate(); this.intervalID = setInterval(this.retrieve_rate, this.INTERVAL); }, retrieve_rate : function() { var ajax = null; ajax = new XMLHttpRequest(); ...
I'm starting on a javascript MMORPG that will actually work smoothly. Currently, I created a demo to prove that I can move characters around and have them chat with each other, as well as see eachother move around live. http://set.rentfox.net/ Now Javascript timers are something I have not used extensively, but from what I know, corr...
