gettin flask to call script periodically - GrahamL - Jan-08-2021 As in the title I want a script to get called periodically I have this script at the bottom of an html file <script> setInterval("ajaxd()",1000); function ajaxd() { $(document).ready(function(){alert("ready");}) } </script> but the alert is not called Is the syntax correct? RE: gettin flask to call script periodically - ndc85430 - Jan-08-2021 Why are you passing a string to setInterval instead of just passing the function (per the documentation)? That is setInterval(ajaxd, 1000); Functions have been first class in JavaScript for a long time and you make use of that when you call jQuery's ready method. Also, did you remember to check the browser's console for errors? Note also this has nothing to do with the server; this code is only executed in the browser.
