jQuery Question
JQuery setTimeout doesn't work for some reason
I'm still new to JQuery, I used setTimeout to load the inserted data after certain time. I tried the examples as well as the answers about this issue but nothing worked!
What I'm doing wrong?
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
function fetch_data(){
$.ajax({
url:"getdata.php",
success: function(data){
$('.result').html(data);
}
});
}
fetch_data();
setTimeout(function() {
fetch_data();
}, 2000);
});
</script>
Answer
Just use setInterval. Here's the code you will need. Hope it helps!
JAVASCRIPT
$(document).ready(function(){
function fetch_data(){
$.ajax({
url:"getdata.php",
success: function(data){
$('.result').html(data);
}
});
}
fetch_data();
setInterval(function() {
fetch_data();
}, 2000);
});
