Question

using jQuery… how do I run a function and then run a second function every 2 minutes after.

eg:

function 1: runs once

function 2: runs every 2 minutes after function 1 has finished

Any help will be much appreciated.

jQuery’s delay() function is not a replacement for javascript’s setInterval or setTimeout. To run a function #1 once on page load and then function #2 every 2 minutes after:

function funcOne() { 
  // some javascript
  setInterval('funcTwo()', 1000*60*2);
};

function funcTwo() { 
  // some other javascript
};

$(document).ready(function() {
  funcOne();
});
