modal wont trigger after 5 seconds of inactivity

Question

could someone see what i am doing wrong here? I wish for the modal to auto popup after 5 seconds of inactivity but it just dont seem to work.

here is my jq

var THRESHOLD = 5 * 1000;
var lastActive = Date.now();
$(window).ready(function() {
    if (Date.now() > lastActive + THRESHOLD) {
     $('#modal').fadeIn(1500).css('display','block').trigger('click');
    }
    lastActive = Date.now();
});

You can use this `setTimeout(function(){ your modal code here }, 5000);`. The problem is that your `Date.now() > lastActive + THRESHOLD` only runs once, and when the page it ready. — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, May 03 '22 at 12:13
@CarstenLøvboAndersen can you help out with a better way to trigger the modal on inactivity of every 5 seconds? — Abigail, May 03 '22 at 12:19
Do you want to open the modal every 5 second or just once after 5 seconds? — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, May 03 '22 at 12:25

                clearTimeout(inactiveTime);
    
                inactiveTime = setTimeout(alertUser, 1000 * 5); // 5 seconds
            });
            $("body").trigger("mousemove");
        });
    </script>

I removed some of the events from bind and now it seems to be fine :) — Abigail, May 04 '22 at 08:43
