Looping two variables and testing every 1000ms

I have two variables:

var frame = $('#avacweb_chat iframe');
var time = $('.date-and-time' , frame.contents()).last().text();
var newTime = setInterval(function() {
  var newT = $('.date-and-time' , frame.contents()).last().text();
 },500);

As you can see one variable is in a setInterval and the other is not. So technically when I test these in a conditional it has to be inside the interval. Does anyone know how I can get these so that it will update the first variable if the second variable changes and then loop again? EX:

Var Time =  [12:30:39 23/05/13]

Var newT =  [12:31:39 23/05/13]

So now 

Var Time =  [12:31:39 23/05/13]

So then we would now need to test the var NewT again. Hope this explained it a little better. I am going to keep trying different things though if you have a suggestion please post it. Thanks guys

I could misunderstood your problem, but use:

var frame = $('#avacweb_chat iframe');
var time = $('.date-and-time' , frame.contents()).last().text();
var newTime = setInterval(function() {
  var newT = $('.date-and-time' , frame.contents()).last().text();
  if(newT != time)//seems like always true but im just speculating
     time = newT;
 },500);
