Calling Ajax repeatedly after specific time using jquery -

searched on jquery timer functions need solution call below ajax function every 5 minutes using jquery..

    $.ajax({   type: 'post',   url: '<?php echo base_url().'index.php/score-refresh/scorecard';?>',   success: function(html){     $('.score_news').append(html);   } }); 

you can using setinterval call this

var timer, delay = 300000; //5 minutes counted in milliseconds.  timer = setinterval(function(){     $.ajax({       type: 'post',       url: '<?php echo base_url().'index.php/score-refresh/scorecard';?>',       success: function(html){         $('.score_news').append(html);       }     }); }, delay);

clearinterval(timer);
