I'm trying to solve the following problem:
On my page, setInterval does not repeat, tried in many ways, even simplified in the mode below to see if it would work, but it still does not repeat, it is working as a setTimeout .
function teste(){
$("#teste").append("a");
}
var x = setInterval(teste(),1000);
The problem is that you are passing the result of the function teste to setInterval .
setInterval(teste(), 1000);
// 'teste' é executado, e, como ele não retorna nada, essa linha é equivalente a:
setInterval(undefined, 1000);
Finally, to fix, pass the reference to the function teste to setInterval . Tidy code:
function teste(){
$("#teste").append("a");
}
var x = setInterval(teste, 1000); // <-- sem parênteses
