Question

I want to create a jQuery iterative timer. For this I wrote the following script:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var t;
    function x()
    {
        alert('x')
        t = setTimeout("x()",1000);
    }
    x();
});

First time the function x() called successfully. But from the next function x() is detect as undefined. What could I do?

Answer 1

This is because you define x() in closure. Define x as global function. Or pass it as function, instead of string:

function x() {

};

setTimeout(x, 1000);
