While working on some 'animation' effect on one of my pages, I came across a problem when using setTimeout(). I am using it to call a function repeatedly in certain interval. I am not much into javascript so had quite a trouble figuring it out. If the function which is being called does not have any input parameters,
The correct way to call a function with parameters in setTimeout function is.
Just wanted to share...
setTimeout(MyFunc(),10); // calls 'MyFunc' function every 10 ms.
But my 'Animate' function takes a parameter ( divId ),so I triedsetTimeout(Animate(divId),10); // wrong !!
This did not work.The correct way to call a function with parameters in setTimeout function is.
setTimeout(function(){Animate(divId);}, 10);
This concept is called 'Closure' in javascript.Just wanted to share...
It should work fine with quotes.
