jquery “everyTime” function

Question

I\'m trying to refresh my recent list every 5 seconds. I was looking at ajax and found jquery.

I found a function known as \"everyTime\"

This is what I have

Answer 1

everyTime seems to be a jQuery plugin that has a lot of functionality you're not using here. For what you're doing, you can just use setInterval thus:

setInterval(function() {
    // refresh list
}, 5000)

where the second parameter is the number of milliseconds.

Note on everyTime

If you really want to use everyTime, you'll need to make your first parameter a string, that is:

$(document).everyTime("5s", function(i) { }, 0);

Note the quotes around the 5s. You'll also need to include the appropriate javascript file for the plugin (not just for jQuery) at the top, i.e.
