Jquery ajax post with timer event?

script

$(document).ready(function () {
    var meter_id = $("#MeterReadingTypes li a.link_active").attr("id");
    var range_id = $("#DateRangeTypes li a.link_active").attr("id");

    window.setInterval(PostMainChartValues(meter_id, range_id), 5000);
    ...
});

function PostMainChartValues(meter_id, range_type_id) {
    $.ajax({
        ...
    });
}

window.setInterval is not trigerred. If I write an alert in setInterval it works. What is the reason of this? Why function is not triggering? I tracked it with chrome DevTools, and there is no move.

This is not an ajax issue. You are using in wrong mode the setInterval parameter.

Create an anonymous function like bellow:

window.setInterval(function () { PostMainChartValues(meter_id, range_id); }, 5000);

The first parameter to setInterval should be a function (or an evalable string). Right now, you are calling PostMainChartValues() and passing its return value to setInterval().

Change it to:

window.setInterval(function() {
    PostMainChartValues(meter_id, range_id);
}, 5000);
