JavaScript - jQuery interval

Question

I am using JavaScript with jQuery. I have the following script to alert hi every 30 seconds.

$(document).ready( function() {
    alert(\"hi\");
         


        

Answer 1

You could use setTimeout instead and have the callback reschedule itself.

$(function() {
    sayHi();

    function sayHi() {
       setTimeout(sayHi,30000);
       alert('hi');
    }
});
