How to solve Var out of scope within setTimeout call

Question

I am trying to call a setTimeout from within a setInterval callback:

function callback()
{
   //assign myVar
   var myVar = document.getElementById(\"givenID         


        

Answer 1

Run it in Firefox and check Tools | Error Console. if setTimeout fails it may tell you why there.

Also, try replacing "someFunction();" with "alert('hi')" (no semicolon) and see if that works. If so, the problem is narrowed down significantly.
