Question

I am facing a strange issue while using javascript setTimeout function in IE8. I want to use the \'setTimeout\' function like this -

setTimeout(timeout,2000         


        

Answer 1

Probably not supported there, so have this instead:

window.setTimeout(function() {
    timeout({name:'saarthak'});
},2000);

Meaning call your function from within anonymous function.
