Question

How can i active/fire/trigger the setInterval with a button? and if the button is not clicked how to make it auto fire on 3 second, but if i click on the button it fire it on 0.1
second and restart evrything. please help me out guys

$('button').click(function(){
    setInterval(function(){
        updateStats("updateStats");
    }, 100);
});  

else 

setInterval(function(){
    updateStats("updateStats");
}, 3000);

Edit

Only everytime the button is clicked 100ms, if not clicked then it most do it auto on 3000ms, unless you click it ofc

Part :

function updateStats(stat)
{



    var stat = ["GAME","USERS"];

    var url = "NET.php";

   $.each(stat, function(i, key){
       $.post(url, {stats: key}, function(data) { // stats to stat


          $("#" + key).html(data);  




                    $('.s').emoticonize({
                        //delay: 800,
                        //animate: false
                    });


       });


    });


} 

Answer 1

This will fire after 3000 if you clicked the button it will fire after 100

var x ;

// call timer after 3000
callTimer(3000);

// call timer after 100 if cicked
$('button').click(function(){
     clearInterval(x);
     callTimer(100);
 });  


 function callTimer(time){
   x = setInterval(function(){
        updateStats("updateStats");
        }, time);
  }

UPDATE upon your request

var x ;
var y ;

// call timer after 3000
callTimer(3000);

// call timer after 100 if cicked
$('button').click(function(){
     y = setInterval(function(){
        updateStats("updateStats");
        clearInterval(y);
        }, 100);
    callTimer(3000);
});  

 function callTimer(time){
   clearInterval(x);
   x = setInterval(function(){
        updateStats("updateStats");
      }, time);
 }
