Settimeout Inside While Loop
I've searched for how to use setTimeOut with for loops, but there isn't a lot on how to use it with while loops, and I don't see why there should be much difference anyway. I've wr
Solution 1:
The while loop is creating trouble, like jrdn is pointing out. Perhaps you can combine both the setInterval and setTimeout and once the src is filled, clear the interval. I placed some sample code here to help, but am not sure if it completely fits your goal:
var src = '';
var intervalId = window.setInterval(
function () {
if (src == '') {
setTimeout(function () {
//src = $('#currentImage').val();//$("#img_" + imgIdx).attr('src', src);
src = 'filled';
console.log('Changing source...');
clearInterval(intervalId);
}, 500);
}
console.log('on interval...');
}, 100);
console.log('stopped checking.');
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone - all the suggestions helped. In the end I used setInterval as follows:
var timer;
// code generating dynamic image index and doing ajax, etcvar checker = function() {
var src = $('#currentImage').val();
if(src !== '') {
$('#img_' + imgIdx).attr('src', src);
clearInterval(timer);
}
};
timer = setInterval(checker, 500);
