Using setTimeout

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

I am trying to get a set of functions in VBScript to be called repeatedly, after a certain delay. Is it possible to make recursive calls in VBScript or use the setTimeout() function to do this?

Thanks

Newer browsers can use setInterval. Example:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
var delay = 5*1000 //5 seconds
setInterval(&quot;fnAlert()&quot;,delay)

function fnAlert(){
 alert(&quot;Hello&quot;);
}
</script>

Otherwise use this recursive function...

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
var delay = 5*1000 //5 seconds
setTimeout(&quot;fnAlert()&quot;,delay)

function fnAlert(){
 alert(&quot;Hello&quot;);
 setTimeout(&quot;fnAlert()&quot;,delay)
}
</script>

Hope this helps,
