setInterval Not Working

[lougibson]

I'm using setInterval to fire some JavaScript code every 5 seconds that uses XML to refresh a message list in a chat application I've developed. All works OK with my browser (IE6) but not when running from an IE5 browser. Any ideas why this might be happening? Many thanks.:confused:

I am not its a typo or thats how you have written it.

setinterval should be setInterval('methodname',timevalue);
'i" in the setInterval must be capital

Hope its guides you.

cheers

Thanks Dave,

Yes, the XML side of things works fine when fired by the page's onload event. Thereafter nothing happens which leads me to suspect setInterval.

setInterval does work with IE5 browsers,i'd suggetst post your code that is in question.

Here it is, all JavaScript is at the top. The init() function is fired by the page's onload event.

I have just tested your code with IE5.5
it seems to be working fine...it does call setInterval after the suggested time interval...your problem may lie some where else...:-0

No need to thank me for being such a Grrreat help..
