By the way, please ask questions about the Closure Library in its respective group (this group is specific to the Closure Compiler):

Hi Vinod,

You probably want goog.Timer, which differs a bit from window.setInterval primarily in that it dispatches events with each tick rather than invoking a single given callback:

 - http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/docs/class_goog_Timer.html

A simple example:

    var timer = new goog.Timer(1000);

    timer.addEventListener(goog.Timer.TICK, function(e) {

        if (!confirm('Keep ticking?')) {

            e.target.dispose();

        }

    });

    timer.start();

For some higher-level classes that offer extended functionality, see:

 - http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/docs/class_goog_async_ConditionalDelay.html

 - http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/docs/class_goog_async_Throttle.html (incomplete docs)

Usage examples here:

 - http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/demos/timers.html

Of course, you can always use the native window.<set|clear>Interval methods (which you should reference by full their full namespaces: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml?showone=Explicit_scope#Explicit_scope), though you won't get the extra sugar.

Cheers,

Ross
