What's the easiest / most efficient way to pause setInterval while data is loading? JavaScript/Jquery -


so have js interval doing load command on script.. , displays loaded data on div..

everything perfect until put project online , saw issue (in background)..

since setinterval needs set @ 1 second interval , , lot of times time takes data load more 1 second, see load stacking happening in background... since setinterval continues fire $.load() calls every second regardless of loaded data..

i thinking of setting global variable "is_loading" add function in interval, skip rest of routine incase "is_loading" true, .. once recent load call completes, sets is_loading = false..

this way interval keeps firing / second w/o load calls stacking in background...

however, since have several intervals doing loads on page (pls dont ask why lolz) find quite tedious w/ every interval.. therefore wondering there can "globally" event listener of sort current unfinished loading/get/post happening on page?

suggestions great

like others have said, use settimeout make new request whenever request completes.

for dealing multiple requests on timer, recommend making sort of master timer/scheduler in order decrease amount of settimeouts running over. article google helpful me when doing similar:
