Again, AFAIK, yes.. but at the same time it limits your to only ever have one interval, no matter where. For instance you won't be able to have 2 instances of the same class run an interval at the same time, which might not be what you're after. If you want to manage intervals better than the built in way (which is non-existant), google for setInterval manager and I'm sure something useful will turn up.
