Jquery setInterval() not working

Question

I\'m trying to create a kind of slideshow.

The problem:

function slides(x) {
      $(\"#irack\").stop().animate({\"left\": x}, 20);
 };
setInterval         


        

Answer 1

The reason it doesn't work is because you're calling the function you're passing to setInterval

You'll need to wrap the function in an anonymous function to pass a parameter as part of the interval.

function slides(x) {
      $("#irack").stop().animate({"left": x}, 20);
 };
setInterval(function(){slides(-30)},300);

Note how the slides(-30) is now wrapped in an anon function.
