setinterval

I've got a site with endlessly sliding images using jquery's setIntervall() function. When calling the page in Chrome 13 and I switch to another tab to come back a few seconds later the image sliding is happening faster, as if it tried to keep up to where it was if it hadn't switched to another tab. How could I resolve this issue? $(window).load(function() { setInterval(nextSlide, 3500); }); function nextSlide(){ offset += delta; $("#slideContent").animate({left: -1 * offset}, 1000); } Solution: I chose jfriend00's first advise. Now I turn the timer off when the window becomes inactive. The

setInterval(function(){}, 200) this code run the function each 200 miliseconds, how do I do it if I only want the function to be ran 10 times. thanks for help. Use a counter which increments each time the callback gets executed, and when it reaches your desired number of executions, use clearInterval() to kill the timer: var counter = 0; var i = setInterval(function(){ // do your thing counter++; if(counter === 10) { clearInterval(i); } }, 200); Esailija (function(){ var i = 10; (function k(){ // your code here if( --i ) { setTimeout( k, 200 ); } })() })() shadownrun if you want it to run for

I need to run a javascript function each 10 seconds. I understand the syntax must work like follow but I am not getting any success: function funcName() { alert("test"); } var func = funcName(); var run = setInterval("func",10000) But this isn't working.

Your code, for reference: function funcName() { alert("test"); } var func = funcName(); var run = setInterval("func",10000) Let's break this up into chunks. Your function

Currently developing a JavaScript based animation project. I have noticed that, proper use of setInterval() , setTimeout() and even requestAnimationFrame allocates memory without my request, and causes frequent garbage collection calls. More GC calls = flickers :-( For instance; when I execute the following simple code by calling init() in Google Chrome, memory allocation + garbage collection is fine for the first 20-30 seconds... function init() { var ref = window.setInterval(function() { draw(); }, 50); } function draw() { return true } Somehow, within a minute or so, starts a strange

I am in the process of making a jquery application to hide an image after a specified interval of time by using setInterval(). The problem is that the hide image function executes immediately without delay. $(document).ready(function() { setInterval(change(), 99999999); function change() { $('#slideshow img').eq(0).removeClass('show'); } }); I am testing it in jsfiddle . http://jsfiddle.net/wWHux/3/ You called the function immediately instead of passing it to setInterval . setInterval( change, 1500 ) - passes function change to setInterval setInterval( change(), 1500 ) - calls the function
