How to execute a function twice after a period of time with jQuery?

I need to execute a function foo() twice and I need a wait interval between the first and the second execution. How can I do this with jQuery?

Answer 1

You can use setInterval for repeated execution with intervals and then clearInterval after 2 invocations:

callfunction();
var callCount = 1;
var repeater = setInterval(function () {
  if (callCount < 2) {
    callfunction();
    callCount += 1;
  } else {
    clearInterval(repeater);
  }
}, 1000);
