What’s the easiest way to call a function every 5 seconds in jQuery? [duplicate]

by

You don’t need jquery for this, in plain javascript, the following will work!

var intervalId = window.setInterval(function(){
  /// call your function here
}, 5000);

To stop the loop you can use

clearInterval(intervalId)
