Execute the setInterval function without delay the first time

Question

It\'s there a way to configure the setInterval method of javascript to execute the method immediately and then executes with the timer

Answer 1

To solve this problem , I run the function a first time after the page has loaded.

function foo(){ ... }

window.onload = function() {
   foo();
};

window.setInterval(function()
{
    foo(); 
}, 5000);
