Change JavaScript interval time when current time is between two times -

i’m looking way tweak current script of mine loads page div every minute. want wait 5 minutes @ specific time, go executing every minute. here’s have far.

var starttime = 10‎:‎30:‎00‎ ‎pm; var endtime = 10‎:‎35:‎00‎ ‎pm;  var myvar = setinterval(function(){ mytimer() }, 1000);  function mytimer() {     var d = new date();     document.getelementbyid("currenttime").innerhtml = d.tolocaletimestring();      if ( d.tolocaletimestring() > ‎starttime &&          d.tolocaletimestring() < ‎endtime ) {          setinterval(function() {         }, 300000);          $("#ticketload").load("loadlasttenminutesmodified.php");      } else {         setinterval(function() {         }, 60000);          $("#ticketload").load("loadlasttenminutesmodified.php");     } }; 

any appreciated, thanks.

var starttime = '10‎:‎30:‎00‎ ‎pm',     endtime = '10‎:‎35:‎00‎ ‎pm';  var myvar = setinterval(mytimer, 1000);  // use function instead of tolocaletimestring,  // since inconsistencies may arise one, depending on country. function gettimeformatted(date) {     var hours = date.gethours(),         minutes = date.getminutes(),         seconds = date.getseconds(),         ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';     hours = hours % 12;     hours = hours ? hours : 12;     minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes;     seconds = seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds;     return hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds + ' ' + ampm; }  function mytimer() {     var d = gettimeformatted(new date());     document.getelementbyid("currenttime").innerhtml = d;      // return (exit) function when current time      // between both of dates.      // function not go further this.     // , nothing other update innerhtml     // 5 minutes.     if (d > ‎starttime && d < ‎endtime) return;      // stuff supposed run every minute.      // assume is, place whatever else want in here.     $("#ticketload").load("loadlasttenminutesmodified.php"); } 

you can exit out of interval return when time criteria met, before executing rest of code supposed run every minute.

i made changes code:

• you missed quotes in starttime , endtime variables
• replaced tolocaletimestring new function. @spiderpig pointing out why tolocaletimestring isn't reliable.
• you can specify function directly in myvar interval, instead of executing mytimer function inside of anonymous function.
• format current day am/pm once, since that's needed.
• return when time criteria met , before executing rest of code inside of interval.
• i don't know empty setintervals in there for, removed them. guess example code, judging variable names gave.
