Useless setTimeout call (missing quotes around argument?)

Question

I have this sniplet of code in jQuery

$element.parent().children().last().hide().show(\'slide\', {direction : \'left\'}, 700, function () {
    $element.delay(20         


        

Answer 1

Just for reference if someone stumbles upon this question and is looking for a possible answer. I got the exact same error message as the initial poster because I was mixing up the setTimeout arguments order.

This:

setTimeout(25, function(){
    spotlight.intro.find('#intro').ellipsis();  
});

... gave me the error message. I changed the function to this:

setTimeout(function(){
    spotlight.intro.find('#intro').ellipsis();
}, 25);

And my problem was solved.
