Are you using Firebug by any chance? It's a great resource for helping debug JavaScript errors in Firefox (among many other things). If you're not, I seriously recommend it:
http://getfirebug.com/ I was able to get your gadget to work by replacing the following line with the line below it. You were missing the assignment operator (or rather, it came too late in the expression): ORIGINAL: document.getElementById('info').innerHTML 'timer: ' += timer + '<br>'; MODIFIED: document.getElementById('info').innerHTML = 'timer: ' + timer + '<br>'; Let me know if your gadget still doesn't work after doing this (it does for me). In either case, orkut isn't blocking timeouts so this isn't the issue. - Jason On Sep 28, 7:34 am, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am experiencing a problem using the setTimeout() function.
