I want to run the function continuously. But it only works first time properly. Is there any solution for working this function continuously?
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(() => {
$('#open-band').trigger('click');
setTimeout(() => {
$('#close-band').trigger('click');
}, 50000);
}, 15000);
});
If the code inside the setInterval takes longer than the time you have set it will create another process before the function finishes messing everything up. So choosing setTimeout is actually better.
To make a function loops in setTimeout use a following syntax:
function function1() {
// something here
}
function runner() {
function1();
setTimeout(function() {
runner();
}, time);
}
runner();
Given the comment under the question explaining your goal:
I want to trigger a button to show a div after 15 secs when the page is loaded, and 50 secs later another trigger for closing the div. & I want to run this continuously
I would suggest that you chain setTimeout() calls instead of using setInterval() which will cause the events to overlap and become a mess. I'd also suggest that you call show() and hide() directly on the required elements instead of faking click events in the DOM. Try this:
function openBand() {
$('#yourElement').show();
setTimeout(closeBand, 50000);
}
function closeBand() {
$('#yourElement').hide();
setTimeout(openBand, 15000);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout(openBand, 15000);
// or just call closeBand() here directly, if the element starts as hidden
});
You should change your current function with this one
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(() => {
$('#open-band').trigger('click');
}, 15000);
setTimeout(() => {
$('#close-band').trigger('click');
}, 50000);
});

Basically I'm trying to make a button to be performed again many times as long as the mouse is down on that button.
I need this for buttons with sliders. Right now, I click on a button for example "Increase Slider" and the slider is increased by 1 step, but now I want to be able to increase the slider many steps if I long press on that button.
How do I do that?
Your do loop runs as many times as it can in 1000 ms, and the mouseleave and mouseup handlers never get a chance to run because their events are sitting in the message queue waiting for the mousedown handler to finish running through that loop.
The loop sets up a couple thousand timeouts, to be run at least 200 ms later. Those timeouts don't actually do anything given the code you posted, because window's click handler is being called, not your button's.
The mouseleave and mouseup handlers essentially do nothing, because start will be reset to a valid time before ever being checked.
So how do we fix it?
There are two delays we want: the 1000 ms delay between the initial click and the first time the slider increases, and the 200 ms delay between slider increases. If the user cancels during the first 1000 ms, we'll count that as a single click. If the user cancels after the repetition starts, we shouldn't count that as a click. (We'll define "canceling" as releasing the mouse button or moving the cursor off the button. This means pressing the mouse button over the UI button and moving the cursor off will count as a click, but the code will be simpler.)
We can set up the delays by setting up a timeout that, after 1000 ms, sets up an interval that, every 200 ms, increases the slider. We won't be using the click event for the slider increase because of the last line of the spec:
If the user cancels after the repetition starts, we shouldn't count that as a click.
So we'll give the slider-increase code its own function, increaseSlider() (which is good practice anyway):
function startLongClick (e) {
window.setTimeout(() => {
increaseSlider();
window.setInterval(() => {
increaseSlider();
}, 200);
}, 1000);
}
$('#button').on('mousedown', startLongClick);
We put the first call to increaseSlider() in the timeout so the slider first increases 1000 ms after the initial click, not 1200. We use arrow functions in the timeout and interval because arrow functions don't redefine this, so we'd be able to refer to the triggering <button> if necessary.
I can't stop it!
As the code is now, a single click on the button will start the whole long-click process, with no way of stopping it. Stopping the process means stopping the timeout and interval, which we can do with window.clearTimeout() or window.clearInterval() (they're the same function; don't tell anybody). We'll need to hang on to the IDs setTimeout() and setInterval() give us, and clear them in the mouseup and mouseleave handlers:
let intervalId;
let timeoutId;
function startLongClick (e) {
timeoutId = window.setTimeout(() => {
increaseSlider();
intervalId = window.setInterval(() => {
increaseSlider();
}, 200);
}, 1000);
}
function cancelLongClick () {
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
window.clearTimeout(timeoutId);
}
$('#button').on('mousedown', startLongClick);
$('#button').on('mouseup', cancelLongClick);
$('#button').on('mouseleave', cancelLongClick);
What about the short click?
Now the button's doing what we want it to do, with one exception: a short click doesn't do anything, because we're not using the click handler and the timeout is being cleared before increaseSlider() is ever called. A short click should be registered if a canceling event is fired after the mousedown event but before the timeout fires. Since timeoutId is undefined before the mousedown event and we don't need it once the timeout fires, we can assign undefined to it in the timeout and use it to determine whether we should register a short click:
let intervalId;
let timeoutId;
function startLongClick (e) {
timeoutId = window.setTimeout(() => {
timeoutId = undefined;
increaseSlider();
intervalId = window.setInterval(() => {
increaseSlider();
}, 200);
}, 1000);
}
function cancelLongClick () {
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
if (timeoutId) {
increaseSlider();
window.clearTimeout(timeoutId);
timeoutId = undefined;
}
}
$('#button').on('mousedown', startLongClick);
$('#button').on('mouseup', cancelLongClick);
$('#button').on('mouseleave', cancelLongClick);
We set timeoutId to undefined in the short-click code as well. Otherwise, after short-clicking, an increase would trigger every time you mouse out of the button.
More buttons!
The code works now, but requires two global variables and is hard-coded for a specific button. Let's turn it into a general-purpose jQuery plugin*:
(($) => {
$.fn.repeatingClick = function (callback, delay = 500, interval = 200) {
return this.each(function () {
let intervalId;
let timeoutId;
function startLongClick (e) {
timeoutId = window.setTimeout(() => {
timeoutId = undefined;
callback.call($(this), e);
intervalId = window.setInterval(() => {
callback.call(this, e);
}, interval);
}, delay);
}
function cancelLongClick (e) {
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
if (timeoutId) {
callback.call(this, e);
window.clearTimeout(timeoutId);
timeoutId = undefined;
}
}
$(this).on('mousedown', startLongClick);
$(this).on('mouseup', cancelLongClick);
$(this).on('mouseleave', cancelLongClick);
});
}
})(jQuery);
function modifySlider (e) {
let modifier = Number($(this).data('change'));
$('progress').attr('value', Number($('progress').attr('value')) + modifier);
}
$('button').repeatingClick(modifySlider);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="dec" data-change="-1">−</button>
<progress value="25" max="50"></progress>
<button id="inc" data-change="1">+</button>
What's changed?
Replaced calls to increaseSlider() with a callback parameter and callback.call($(this), e). This way, any function can be used as the callback, and since we used arrow functions in the timeout, we're able to use Function.call with this to access the triggering element in the callback.
Parameterized the delays in the timeout and interval into delay and interval, for more general use.
Stuck the whole thing in a new jQuery function, $.repeatingClick(). Since jQuery objects can represent collections as well as individual elements, we wrap the original code in a call to $.each() to access each element individually. We also return the jQuery object in the usual style.
The rest is specific to this application: two buttons to modify the value of a (<progress>) 'slider', using custom data- attributes for the actual amounts so we can give both the same code.
*I've never written a jQuery plugin before; most of the code surrounding the core logic came straight from jquery-longpress, a jQuery plugin that does almost what OP wants.
Try using intervals instead of manually calculating time. Check this out:
var value = 0
var addval;
var press = false;
$('#button').on('mousedown', function (e) {
press = true;
increaseValue();
return false;
});
$('#button').on('mouseleave', function (e) {
clearInterval(addval);
return false;
});
$('#button').on('mouseenter', function(e) {
if (press)
increaseValue();
});
$('#button').on('mouseup', function (e) {
press = false;
clearInterval(addval);
return false;
});
function increaseValue() {
addval = setInterval(function(){
value++;
$("#counter").text(value);
}, 100);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="button">Press me</button>
<div id="counter">0</div>
You can adjust the speed by changing interval time.
I want to run a function with a timeout of 2000 ms. The function should just run while toggleButton is pressed.
When I run this function my CPU explodes:
do {
setTimeout(function () {
me.pushMockData();
}, 2000);
}
while (liveButton.getPressed() != false);
Your CPU explode because you create Timeout again, again and again really fast in your loop when button is pressed. If you want to run your function every 2 second :
You should test if the the button is pressed.
Use setInterval
Inside setInterval, check if the button is still pressed, if not, clearInterval
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp
If you just want to active your function 2 second later, use setTimeout inside if.
You are going about this all wrong, keep things simple and attach an event listener to the button and call setTimeout then.
HTML
<button id="my_button">Click Me</button>
JavaScript
document.getElementById('my_button').addEventListener('click', function () {
setTimeout(function () {
alert('Clicked!');
}, 2000);
});
JSFiddle
Live Example
It's because you are constantly calling the setTimeout function in the while loop.
var timeout;
if (liveButton.getPressed())
{
if (typeof timeout !== 'undefined') {
timeout = setTimeout(function () {
me.pushMockData();
}, 2000);
} else {
clearTimeout(timeout);
}
}
If you can catch the onPress and onRelease event, it would be better if you do following
onPress
var myTimeout = setTimeout( ... , 2000 )
onRelease
clearTimeout(myTimeout)

var playtop = setInterval(goright, 5000);
function goright(){
...
}
The above works.
Now, I need to interrupt the above by clicking on a button, do something on page, and ten seconds after click - activate the setInterval again.
$("#btngoright").click(function(){
clearInterval(playtop);
...
setTimeout(playtop, 10000);
});
But, once interrupted, setInterval is not activated again.
It's not working because playtop is the id that was returned when initially setting the interval.
The setTimeout method expects a function, not an id, therefore you should pass a reference to the goright function again:
setTimeout(goright, 10000);
If you want to activate the interval again after 10 seconds, you can set an interval and pass a reference to the goright function in an anonymous function:
$("#btngoright").click(function(){
clearInterval(playtop);
setTimeout(function () {
setInterval(goright, 5000);
}, 10000);
});
Nearly. It should be:
$("#btngoright").click(function(){
clearInterval(playtop);
setTimeout(function () {
playtop = setInterval(goright, 5000);
}, 10000);
});
This way you are putting control back into the playtop variable meaning that the interrupt function will work more than once.
I have a function in Javascript that I need to repeat every 5 seconds.
Here is the simple code:
function myFunk() {
$('body').addClass('polyonloaded');
setTimeout(myFunk, 5000);
}
myFunk();
It runs the function once, and does not repeat it anymore. What went wrong with my code?
Your code is working; try printing something:
function myFunk() {
$('body').addClass('polyonloaded');
console.log('hello');
setTimeout(myFunk, 5000);
}
myFunk();
The problem: since the added class is always the same, nothing happens:
the class is already added; it won't be added again.
If you want to add, remove, add, remove, ... etc. use toggleClass:
function myFunk() {
$('body').toggleClass('polyonloaded');
setTimeout(myFunk, $('body').hasClass('polyonloaded') ? 4000 : 5000);
}
myFunk();
You have to add and remove the class.
Set an interval that adds the class, then set a timeout inside to wait a bit that removes it, just before the next interval.
Forked yours here:
http://codepen.io/snlacks/pen/KwoELp
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval( function() {
$('body').addClass('polyonloaded');
setTimeout( function(){
$('body').removeClass('polyonloaded');
}, 4000)}, 5000 );
});
Seems to be working fine:
function myFunk() {
console.log('running');
setTimeout(myFunk, 1000);
}
myFunk();

I have successfully managed to make a div hide on click after 400 milliseconds using a setInterval function. My issue is that it runs continually, I only need the function to execute once. After a quick search I discovered that the setInterval can be stopped by clearInterval. Am I using this incorrectly? The closeAnimation function is being executed on click. I modelled my code after the code on this page: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp
function closeAnimation() {
setInterval(function(){hide()}, 400);
clearInterval(stopAnimation);
}
var stopAnimation = setInterval({hide()}, 400);
If it needs to run just once you can use setTimeout
setTimeout(function () {
console.log('Hello world')
}, 1000)
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Foo bar')
}, 1000)
You should use setTimeout():
setTimeout(function() {
getScore();
getResult();
}, 1800000);
The '1800000' is the time in milliseconds after which you want this function to execute. In this case, 30 minutes.
