To repeat a command at set intervals, use the method: timeid = setinterval( command, interval); where interval is the interval, in milliseconds, before the command is to run again. To cancel a time-delayed command, use the method: cleartimeout(timeid); where timeid is the id of the time-delayed command. To clear all time-delayed commands, use the method cleartimeout(). To cancel a repeated command, use the method: clearinterval(timeid); where timeid is the id of the repeated command. To clear all repeated commands, use the method clearinterval().
