setTimeout help (annoyed)

**macgyver07** · Oct 22, 2007, 23:43

setTimeout is causing me grief. The damn syntax is playing tricks on me. Whats wrong with the following:

Code:

<img src="images/trans.gif" onload="setTimeout("doCalc('re_val*313')", 313);">

Thanks!

You can't have double quotation marks within an attribute value that is itself enclosed in double quotation marks.

Code:

<img src="images/trans.gif" onload="setTimeout('doCalc(\'re_val*313\')', 313)">

Hmm, I knew it would be something dumb like that. Thanks a bunch
