Javascript - Can't Adjust FrameRate - requestanimationframe

Question

I start the loop

function gameLoop(){
   update();
   draw();
   requestAnimFrame(gameLoop);
}

var requestAnimFrame =  window.requestAnimationFrame ||

You should look at this article which gives a proper treatment of the subject. http://creativejs.com/resources/requestanimationframe/

var fps = 15;
function draw() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        requestAnimFrame(draw);
        // Drawing code goes here
    }, 1000 / fps);
}

Here is the code I think you want, but in the original article it said used requestAnimationFrame, but here I am using requestAnimFrame. I think maybe it changed and you're supposed to use requestAnimFrame now. requestAnimationFrame did not work for me while requestAnimFrame did.
