Javascript function not firing
<p>I am trying to fire a function every 60 seconds.</p>

<p>Here is my current code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
$(document).ready(function() {
    setInterval(alertme, 600000);
});  

function alertme() {
    alert('1 minute has passed');
} 
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>For some reason the function alertme is not being called.</p>

<p>Any ideas why?</p>
