Can’t Solve setTimeout issue….

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 04.2008

So I am using the below code on my site, which should hopefully endlessly call a function while looping. The only problem is that is calls the click_sidebar(0), and then never calls it again, even though I know the loop is running….. I think I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

function raiseAlerts(nosofitems)
{
var i=0;
while (i<=nosofitems)
{
t=setTimeout(“click_sidebar(” + i + “)”,1000);
i=i+1;
}
//Add Code to Then Repeat Function All Over Again from 0 on Endless Loop
}

raiseAlerts(50);

@TheBearMayJan 04.2008 — Try changing it to:

var i=0;
function raiseAlerts(nosofitems)
{

if (i&lt;=nosofitems)
{
i++;
click_sidebar( i );
t=setTimeout("raiseAlerts("+nosofitems+")",1000);
}
//Add Code to Then Repeat Function All Over Again from 0 on Endless Loop
}

raiseAlerts(50);

@drbigfreshauthorJan 04.2008 — But now I cna't figure out how to make it loop endlessly... Once it runs I want to set i back to 0 and run all over again....

This is the code I used to get it working....

<!--

var i = 0;

function showNext() {

click_sidebar(i);

if (++i <= <?php echo count($PeopleToMap)?>) setTimeout("showNext()", 5000);

}

setTimeout("showNext()", 5000);

@TheBearMayJan 04.2008 — How's this:

var i=0;
function raiseAlerts(nosofitems)
{

if (i&lt;=nosofitems) {
i++;
click_sidebar( i );
} else i=0;
t=setTimeout("raiseAlerts("+nosofitems+")",1000);
}

raiseAlerts(50);

Success!
