Thanks Teo
So, on that last example, you are saying to include a semicolon after
the function name?:
noAnswerTimer = setTimeout("serverTimedOut();", 40000);
I hadn't seen it like it that. I've been making all my timers like
this:
noAnswerTimer = setTimeout("serverTimedOut()", 40000);
And, in my testing anyway, the timers fire using either method (from
my previous post). I'm asking what is the more general accepted method
for the syntax- not about the timer itself. This particular line is
from my gadget currently released. (OT- it hit a 1000 users
yesterday.<grin>)
