1. var repeat = 1;
   
   function RefreshPage()
   {
       $.post("php/getchatmsg.php", function(data) {
           repeat = 0;
       });
       alert(repeat);
   }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

      This code will alert the value 1 on the first time the function RefreshPage() is run, but will output 0 on the rest of the calls, furthermore this code:

1. var repeat = 1;
   
   function RefreshPage()
   {
       while (repeat == 1)
       {
           $.post("php/getchatmsg.php", function(data) {
               repeat = 0;
           });
       }
   }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

just makes my browser crash UNLESS I add an alert after the post inside the loop...

I'm sorry, but what the fuck?

Any ideas? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
