One thing to watch out for is that passing objects doesn’t really work with setTimeout. I generally find it’s necessary to pass a string naming the object and then have the called function look it up (e.g. with getElementByID()…).

The clearing of the timeout id is necessary especially where you’re creating several timeout requests – I’ve seen pages in IE run out of memory due to timeout operation leaks.

To stop the timer use clearTimeout(id) with id = setTimeout(…).
