Repeating Code snippets: same snippet works and works not

Question

I got a piece of code that looks like this:

setTimeout(function(){
    $("#question"+window.random).css("background-color","pink")
},250);

It repeats with other colors in the same function. The first time it works but not the second and so on. That means it just changes the color for one time. In the console it says undefined.

you can ignore window.random it´s just a global variable – Ben Apr 02 '14 at 18:36 — Ben, Apr 02 '14 at 18:36

You may try using setInterval like this:

setInterval(function(){
   $("#question"+window.random).css("background-color","pink")
},250);
