How can I run a Javascript loop with a 15 min time interval? It should use 24 hour format. For example, running from 6:00 am to 11:45 pm it would run at 6:00,6:15, 6:30 --- 23:45 etc. These values are displayed as pulldown menu items in html. I am using notepad for javascript and html because I am required to.

    I'm confused. Are you trying to create a list of times with 15 minute intervals, or to run some thing every 15 minutes from some arbitrary start time, or from a particular start time, or to run something at specific times that just happen to be at 15 minutes intervals? – RobG May 28 '13 at 06:09

setInterval(function() {
 //  I will run for every 15 minutes
}, 15 * 60 * 1000);

  • Thanq but we dont use any functions just use for loop to iterate the intervals – sin May 28 '13 at 06:20

    use getTime() in the function to check if you are in your desired period and run script or not. It's not possible give js fixed timestamps like you want. But if you can assume to start the script at specific time, you may consider nesting setInterval(). One for every 15 minutes and one wrapping e.g. with 6h.... – Karl Adler May 28 '13 at 06:39
