I got this code from a website which I have modified to my needs:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<div id="links">
</div>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var timeout = setTimeout(reloadChat, 5000);
function reloadChat () {
$('#links').load('test.php #links',function () {
$(this).unwrap();
timeout = setTimeout(reloadChat, 5000);
});
}
</script>
In test.php:
<?php echo 'test'; ?>
So I want test.php to be called every 5 seconds in links div. How can I do this right?
This question is related to
javascript
php
jquery
ajax
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
refreshTable();
});
function refreshTable(){
$('#tableHolder').load('getTable.php', function(){
setTimeout(refreshTable, 5000);
});
}
</script>
Try to not use setInterval.
You can resend request to server after successful response with timeout.
jQuery:
sendRequest(); //call function
function sendRequest(){
$.ajax({
url: "test.php",
success:
function(result){
$('#links').text(result); //insert text of test.php into your div
setTimeout(function(){
sendRequest(); //this will send request again and again;
}, 5000);
}
});
}
Try using setInterval and include jquery library and just try removing unwrap()
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var timeout = setInterval(reloadChat, 5000);
function reloadChat () {
$('#links').load('test.php');
}
</script>
UPDATE
you are using a jquery old version so include the latest jquery version
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you can use this one.
<div id="test"></div>
you java script code should be like that.
setInterval(function(){
$('#test').load('test.php');
},5000);
