How do I get this javascript to run every second? [duplicate]
Use setInterval() to run a piece of code every x milliseconds.
You can wrap the code you want to run every second in a function called runFunction.
So it would be:
var t=setInterval(runFunction,1000);
And to stop it, you can run:
clearInterval(t);
Use setInterval:
$(function(){
setInterval(oneSecondFunction, 1000);
});
function oneSecondFunction() {
// stuff you want to do every second
}
Here's an article on the difference between setTimeout and setInterval. Both will provide the functionality you need, they just require different implementations.
