Question

I created a series of $.post in sequence wherein the next $.post is loaded as callback when the load is completed.

 $.post("test", function() {
      alert("success");
    })
    .complete(function() { 
         //LOAD NEXT SEQUENCE OF POST HERE
    });

My problem is that what if my first sequence loads in 2mins, then I need to wait for 2 mins for the next post. What I want to do is the even though the lst sequence is not yet complete, after five seconds, the next load will be executed. I’ve read about the $.ajax timeout but I don’t want it to stop executing the call from the server…. I just want to make sure that the next sequence will be loaded after a timeout of 5 secs.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

You can use setInterval function

function Yourfunction()
{
    //here you need to do post one after other 
    $.post("test", function() {
      alert("success");
    }).complete(function() { 
     //Here if your interval is not elapsed and completed triggered then your next post will be loaded.
     //LOAD NEXT SEQUENCE OF POST HERE/ 
    });
}
setInterval(Yourfunction, 5000);
