JQuery, how to call a function every 5 seconds.
I'm looking for a way to automate the changing of images in a slideshow.
I'd rather not install any other 3rd party plugins if possible.

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.
To call a jQuery function after a certain delay, use the siteTimeout() method. Here, jQuery fadeOut() function is called after some seconds.
Answer: To delay a function call, use setTimeout() function.
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) you could register an interval on the page using setInterval, ie:
setInterval(function(){ //code goes here that will be run every 5 seconds. }, 5000); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
