Question

I have an AJAX call, which is doing this call every 5 seconds and when the call “succeed ” I have a trigger

 success: function (msg) {
        ...
        $('#test').trigger('click');
        return false;
    },
   ...

But i need to do this trigger just once , the first time, not every 5 second !

Can somebody suggest me how to stop this trigger, or maybe to use another stuff to trigger this “click “

Thanks!

Answer 1

add a global variable outside the function to track the states

var trigger_triggered = false;

Somewhere in your ajax call

 success: function (msg) {
        ...
        if(trigger_triggered == false)
        {
            $('#test').trigger('click');
            trigger_triggered = true; //set it executed here
        }
        return false;
    },
