You might also want to look at the already existing
PeriodicalExecuter.
Any implementation of a Function#repeat API should take this in
account.

I've subbed my implementation with your to do some use-case testing. I'll
report back anything of interest as I go along.

I made a few modifications to your version, allowing repeat() to behave like
delay() with regard to arguments
I've posted a demo here:

All the output is to the firebug console... i've included fbug lite just in

Just to clarify the above: Prototype Core already contains a similar
functionality: PeriodicalExecuter. The API is different but the
functionality is the same.
I'd strongly suggest looking into combining both approaches if you
want your suggestion to be included in core and not just stay a
FWIW, PeriodicalExecuter has always struck me as a bit of a wart on
the Prototype API. The name and usage are awkward, and it's
functionality really feels like something that should just be a
Function extension, as we're seeing in this thread. I'm assuming it's
presence is mostly a legacy thing.
Tobie,
I had in fact looked into PeriodicalExecuter and to be perfectly honest,
with no offense intended, i think it's usage syntax is hideous which is what
led me to writing my own Function.prototype method instead, taking
inspiration from .delay()
It doesnt matter to me whether or not
Thanks, I am using jquery. I'll give this a try!

Hi Rick, hi Robert.
Fully agree regarding PE. It does however handle issues a regular
setInterval doesn't (as you mentioned).
It's clearly an area which would need refinement, but that's better
done in a backwards compatible way.
Personally, I'd love to see PE implemented as a method of
10 matches
