setTimeout and setInterval string support
Reported by Wes Biggs | January 2nd, 2009 @ 02:53 PM
window.setTimeout and window.setInterval need to support strings as well as functions.
The following patch line can be put as the first line of both functions.
if (typeof fn == 'string') {
var fnstr = fn;
fn = function() {
eval(fnstr);
};
}
However, we may want to consider if this should work for String objects (as opposed to primitives), or generally perform a toString on anything that's not a function.
