Question

I am writing a simple chrome extension which should replace the particular content of the webpage every 5 seconds?

Whether it’s possible to anything like that?

This is my function (This would replace particular content)

replaceText(document.body.innerHTML);

How to run this function every x seconds in my script ‘myscript.js’?

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to use setTimeout. It will look something like this:

function timedFunction() {
    replaceText(document.body.innerHTML);
    setTimeout("timedFunction()",5000);
}

timedFunction();
