POsetInterval not working properly

Body
copied!<p>I have been searching all over the internet tonight, saw a lot of "solutions" but not working for me unfortunately. So I will try to get different answer of what I am seeing here on stack and elsewhere and hoping I will find one which will work... </p> <p>My page has the following javascript bit:</p> <pre><code>logbook = setInterval(function () { $.getJSON("php/log.php", function(data) { $.each(data.posts, function(i,data) { $('#logspan').replaceWith(data.logupdate); }); }); }, 5000); </code></pre> <p>When I run the page, it works, but only ONE time and then it stops the interval completely (this is in Chrome and Firefox) and basically gives up.</p> <p>This is weird, because there is yet another script which is running as follows and is doing its job perfectly:</p> <pre><code>var timer; function startCount() { timer = setInterval(count,1000); } function count() { var el = document.getElementById('counter'); var currentNumber = parseFloat(el.innerHTML); el.innerHTML = currentNumber+1; } </code></pre> <p>I already tried to see if the first script works if I turned the second one off, but it is still no go. So, how can I ever make the first (JSON) script work? It is way past my bedtime thanks to this problem and I haven't gotten any step further!! <em>pulls hair</em></p> <p>Any suggestions / hints / tips are appreciated...</p> <p>EDIT: Ok, I found something peculiar, when I replace the "replaceWith" and use "appendTo" it seems to update the #logspan just fine, but obviously I do not want to spam my own webpage. Maybe the problem lies somewhere else?</p>
