no Niphlod,

there is a difference between the two:

*window.setInterval(function() {*
*//some code for html5 geolocation*
*    ajax('{{=URL("default","getaddress")}}'  + '?latitude=' + 
position.coords.latitude + '&longitude=' + position.coords.longitude 
 ,[],'target');*
  
*}, 5000);*

and

*window.setInterval(function() {*

*    ajax('{{=URL("default","checkme")}}'   ,[],'target');*
  
*}, 5000);*

the second one works always. I have double checked it. But first one goes 
inactive when not on present tab. How to tackle this?
