How to solve Var out of scope within setTimeout call
问题 I am trying to call a setTimeout from within a setInterval callback: function callback() { //assign myVar var myVar = document.getElementById("givenID"); //... //now wait 2 secs then call some code that uses myVAr setTimeout("myVar.innerHTML = 'TEST'", 2000); } setInterval("callback();", 10000); setInterval works as expected but setTimeout call is failing. I guess the problem is related to the fact that I am referencing a variable (myVar) that's not in scope. What's the best way to solve this
