[SOLVED] A very simple loop

[GuitarGod]

Hi all,

 

I'm terribly sorry for such a "noob" question, but Javascript isn't my forte. Let's say I have a very simple function.

 

function myfunction()
{
    alert( 'Hi' );
}

 

Is it possible to execute this function every X number of seconds - let's say 3? If so, how?

 

Your help is much appreciated!

Have a look at the settimeout function.

 

This tutorial explains it (I haven't read it so I can't guarantee if it will help but it looks like what you want).

setInterval is better than setTimeout for repeated execution of a function at regular intervals.

 

In this case:

setInterval(myfunction,3000);
