setTimeout & Arrays??

Can someone help me work this out?
*****************************************************
window.setTimeout "startAdd " & i & "," & iCount & "," & iNum & "," & iPfx, 2000
*****************************************************
iNum and iPfx are both arrays.
I get a type mismatch error whenever I call startAdd like this.

If I call it normally(startAdd i,iCount,iNum,iPfx) everything works fine.

Is there anyone out there, who may possibly know why this is not working?

You would probably get a better response, if you posted it in HTML/XML forum. I will have a look at it when i get a chance, just tied up with few things.

Try using

Code:

window.setTimeout eval("startAdd " & i & "," & iCount & "," & iNum & "," & iPfx, 2000);

First off thanks for the help Danial.

When I tried your amended code I get this error on page load.

****************************************************
Expected end of statement

Any thoughts??

Oh No! I thought you were using JavaScript! Seems like you are using VBScript. I have never used VBScript in client side and advise everyone against doing so. I am not sure if VBS has SetTime out function.

Also Eval function is for JavaScript, so thats why you are getting error.

My advice would be try avoid using VBScript in client side.

Sorry couldnt be any help...
