• Hey Peter,

  You can use Javascript's setInterval for that. An example would be:

  setInterval ( "doSomething()", 5000 );
  
  function doSomething ( )
  {
    // (do something here)
  }
  

  There's more info about setTimeout and setInterval here

• Hey Dan – we posted almost the exact same example at the exact same time. (But mine's better, because I added a comment :)

  Actually , setInterval is a little cleaner because you don't have to keep resetting it.

• Oops, yeah, Mark's right. I pasted the wrong example. LOL

  setInterval is the way to go, I'll update my previous comment so the example matches what the comment says. :)
