theoretically something like
function updateTimer(object_id) {
$.get("checkchanges.php",{object_id:object_id}, function(msg) {
$("#timer"+object_id).append(msg);
setTimeout("updateTimer("+object_id+")", 1000);
});
}
is what you're looking for
just carry on execution in the callback.
there are a lot of other ways to write this, depending on the feeling
you're going for.
