jQuery run function in a loop?

[KarimCossutti]

Hi i’m wondering how to run a function repetedly for an infinite ammount of time, basically i’m trying to achieve “autoplay” with this function.

$.fn.play = function(){

var options = $.extend($.fn.qslider.defaultsSetting,$.fn.qslider.options);

$('.qS-scene').each(function(index){

$('img', this).delay(options.sceneDuration*index+options.scenePause).each(function(index){

$(this).delay(options.itemDelay*index).each($.fn.moveIn)

})

})

}

I could make a separate function if it helps, if you want to see it in action (i’m not good @ describing) go here:

You could use setInterval, but I’m sure some smarter people would explain to you why it’s not good and there’s something better.

Here’s some more reading on it: http://wallofscribbles.com/2011/setinterval-the-sneaky-basterd-child-of-javascript/

I’d use the setTimeout instead

x

function yourFunction() {

// content of yourFunction

setTimeout("yourFunction()", speed);

}

yourFunction();
