Really basic question

[LemonInflux]

How do I say,

 

every 5 seconds, run ajaxFunction?

 

At the moment, I'm using:

 

<input type="text" onKeyUp="ajaxFunction();" name="username" />

 

That's fine and all, but...A) I don't want it in a text box, and B) it only works when you release a key.

 

Any help appreciated,

 

Tom.

try this:

 

<script language="javascript">

function ajaxFunction()
{
// ajax code here
setTimeout("ajaxFunction()", 5000);
}

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

</script>
