I've been trying to play around with this, my javascript knowledge is
very limit still (learning!).
I keep getting this error:
Error: useless setInterval call (missing quotes around argument?)
I changed the script after running it a bit, to try and fix the error,
still having problems:
$(document).ready(function() {
var date_reg = $("input#date_requested").val();
var counter = -1;
slideTimer = setInterval((function(date_reg,counter){ //global var
if (counter <= date_reg) {
$('#result').load('/get_time_lapse.pl',
{date_requested: date_reg});
counter++;
date_reg--;
} else { clearInterval(slideTimer); }
})(date_reg,counter),2000);
});
