Recursive timer by using setTimeout |
| We need to execute a function or code block at a fixed interval to carry out some routine work. Here we need a triggering function which will start the required function at a definite time gap. To do this we will use our setTimeout function.
setTimeout JavaScript built in function we will use inside a user defined function and we will call the same function within it to make it recursive. We will be using one alert to display a message at every interval. Here is the code.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function disp(){
alert("Hello");
}
function timer(){
disp();
setTimeout('timer()',5000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="timer();">
</body>
</html>
