Run AJAX Method Every minute

Hello I am displaying some time sensitive information on a page, in this case the score of a basketball game. I have an ajax function called getScore, which hits the database, grabs the score, and shows it on the page. I am trying to make it so that the getScore function runs every minute to pull the score, but I cant seem to be able to do so… Here is my code:

[CODE]
function getScore(){
//do some ajax processing, and change the page to show up to date score
}

function main(){
while(true){
setTimeout(‘getScore();’, 50);
}
}
window.onload = main;
[/CODE]

@scragarMar 26.2008 — var interval
window.onload = function(){
interval = setInterval('getScore()', 60*1000);// 60 secs between requests
};
