Question

I tried to make a notification to the user about a new message.
this my code but nothing is happening:

<span id"not"><?php echo $nbmsg?>

function updatecontent(){
$('#not span').load('index.php'); 
} 

setInterval("updatecontent()", 5000 );

Answer 1

Fix the following errors:

1. <span id"not"> => <span id="not">
2. $('#not span').load('index.php'); => $('#not').load('index.php');

And check the console to see what is going on with the request you send.

One last thing you should change is:

setInterval("updatecontent()", 5000 );

To:

setInterval(updatecontent, 5000 );

It’s not an error, but it saves you from eval.
