[javascript] JavaScript: get code to run every minute

Is there a way to make some JS code be executed every 60 seconds? I'm thinking it might be possible with a while loop, but is there a neater solution? JQuery welcome, as always.

You could use setInterval for this.

<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction () {
    console.log('Executed!');
}

var interval = setInterval(function () { myFunction(); }, 60000);
</script>

Disable the timer by setting clearInterval(interval).
