Question

I have a function called “tryMe” and I’m calling it without the parenthesis not precisely this but the idea is like what you would do here:

setTimeout(tryMe,200);

how can I pass parameters that I need?

I am using a jquery plugin that enables me to call a function but I have to call it withou the parenthesis or it executes itself upon loading.

Answer 1

setTimeout(function() { tryMe(parm1, parm2); }, 200);

A more robust offering, to ensure that the values of parm1, parm2 don’t change before the timeout fires (per @lincolnk’s comment):

setTimeout(function() {
   var p1 = parm1;
   var p2 = parm2;
   tryMe(p1, p2);
}, 200);

@patrick dw, you’re right, has to be evaluated before.
