Try either:

<head>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// v3 compatible:
function doSomething() {
   // do something here...
   setTimeout('doSomething()',10000);
}
//--></script>

</head<

<body onLoad="doSomething()">
...
</body>

</html>

or:

<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// v4 compatible:
function doSomething() {
  // do something here...
}

setInterval('doSomething()',10000);
//--><script>
