Using a timer

[tedpottel]

Hi,
I have the follllowing code on micrsoft explore with the debuger turn
on

<script language="javascript">

setTimeOut( alert('ko'), 50000);

</script>

There seems to be no pause with the alert box comming up, and I keep
getting a error saying " Obkect expecdted",

See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536753(VS.85).aspx

The first argument is a "Variant that specifies the function pointer
or string that indicates the code to be executed when the specified
interval has elapsed.".

The following should work:

// As a string
window.setTimeout("alert('ko')", 50000);

// As a function pointer
var fn = function() { alert("hi") };
window.setTimeout(fn, 1000);

Three lines of code and you got everything wrong. The type attribute is
missing, the language attribute is deprecated, the o has to be lower
case and the alert-call must be surrounded by quotes.

Where the f**k did you learn that?

Well, that's because you write your code like you write your posting in
usenet. You have to abide by the syntax of the language you use.

and 50000 = wait during 50 seconds (not a little long delay ?)
