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);

To delay a function execution in JavaScript by 1 second, wrap a promise execution inside a function and wrap the Promise's resolve() in a setTimeout() as shown below. setTimeout() accepts time in milliseconds, so setTimeout(fn, 1000) tells JavaScript to call fn after 1 second.
Answer: Use the JavaScript setInterval() method You can use the JavaScript setInterval() method to execute a function repeatedly after a certain time period.
In order to run a function multiple times after a fixed amount of time, we are using few functions. setInterval() Method: This method calls a function at specified intervals(in ms). This method will call continuously the function until clearInterval() is run, or the window is closed.
To call a JavaScript function every 5 seconds continuously, we call setInterval with the function that we want to run and the interval between runs. const interval = setInterval(() => { // ... }, 5000); clearInterval(interval); to call setInterval with the callback we want to run and 5000 millisecond period.
If it needs to run just once you can use setTimeout
setTimeout(function () { console.log('Hello world') }, 1000) setTimeout(() => { console.log('Foo bar') }, 1000)If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
