IE and setTimeout...

[RX Maverick]

setTimeout works great in Firefox, but I can't get IE to pass more than one argument. Does anyone know a trick?

There is no trick needed. How are you trying to pass the arguments?

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

setTimeout(function() { myfunc(param1, param2, param3); }, 300);

...should work in most browsers, and will call myfunc passing whatever you give it (in this case, param1, param2, param3); You could also write a helper function to make this a bit cleaner:

function setTimeoutParam(ms, func)
{
  var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
  setTimeout(function() { func.apply(this, args); }, ms);
}

...which you can then call with the timeout value, function, and any number of desired parameters to that function, for example:

setTimeoutParam(1000, alert, "called after 1 second");
