Using setInterval:
setInterval(function() {
// your code goes here...
}, 60 * 1000); // 60 * 1000 milsec
The function returns an id you can clear your interval with clearInterval:
var timerID = setInterval(function() {
// your code goes here...
}, 60 * 1000);
clearInterval(timerID); // The setInterval it cleared and doesn't run anymore.
A "sister" function is setTimeout/clearTimeout look them up.
If you want to run a function on page init and then 60 seconds after, 120 sec after, ...:
function fn60sec() {
// runs every 60 sec and runs on init.
}
fn60sec();
setInterval(fn60sec, 60*1000);
