[jQuery] Infinite Recall Over a Fixed Interval

[kiusau]

QUESTION:  How do I get a function to repeat itself an unspecified
number of times?

BACKGROUND:  I have created a digital clock with which I very
satisfied except for one shortcoming:  it displays only once and stops
ticking.  The only way to keep track of the time is to refresh the
page.  I have introduced the setInterval( ) function in a variety of
ways to compel JSClock() to repeat itself, but to no avail.


SOURCE CODE:

(function($) {
                  $.fn.JSClock = function() {
                                var today=new Date();
                                var h=today.getHours();
                                var m=today.getMinutes();
                                var s=today.getSeconds();
                                m=timeFormat(m);
                                s=timeFormat(s);
                                function timeFormat(i) {
                                        if (i < 10) {
                                                i="0" + i;
                                        }
                                return i;
                                }
                                this.html("Local Time: " + h +":"+ m +":"+s);
                        }
})(jQuery);

$(document).ready(function() {
        $('#clock').JSClock();
});
