Question

I have this code

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.HighlightedTr').delay(1000).effect("highlight", {}, 1000);        
});`

Works good but once.. Is it possible to repeat this with some delay? like every seconds or every 5 seconds?

Yes, use the setInterval function.

var interval = setInterval(code, 4000);

This will execute code every 4000 milliseconds.

Code could also be an anonymous function.

var interval = setInterval(function() {
        ....
    }, 4000);

setTimeout instead executes your code just once, after some time.

var timeout = setTimeout(function() {
        ...
    }, 4000);

You code will be called after 4000 milliseconds.

Finally, you can cancel these timers with clearTimeout(interval).
