Ah, sorry. I made a mistake, this should work:
$(document).ready(function() {
var date_reg = $("input#date_requested").val();
var counter = -1;
slideTimer = setInterval((function(date_reg,counter){
return function(){ //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);
});
