Running ajax request in a loop

[raknin]

Hi,

I have html page that part of it is static and part of it changing continuously. What I want to do is, in the static part of the page I want to run an hidden ajax script in a loop that run in the background and checks continuously the DB for some information, while the active part of the page is changing continuously by the user. If the information is set in the DB, I want the user to get notification, as a OK CANCEL BOX. Can I get an example of such a script?
Thanks
Ronen

1) Just a basic question. How can I run javascript in the background
2) How can I simulate a button press automatically.

About 1) I found the solution. Call the same function from the same function with timeout function.

2) How can I simulate a button press automatically.

Use the click() method.
