I don't understand the explanation. The examples only show functionA but the explaining text speaks of a functionB. Now where is functionB in the code??

Text and JS samples do not match.
Text refers to 'funtionB(parms)'

This was the most confusing, useless bit of information that I have ever read about JavaScript. There may be more out there but this is the first that I have read.

To pass parameters and keep things in scope you need to use an anonymous function eg:

var myParam = 'hello';
setTimeout(function(){ myfunction(myParam) }, 100);

You have to concatinate the string as seen below.


<script>
function LoadGallery(placeHolder,imageFile)
{
new Effect.SlideUp('photoboxgallery');
var t1=setTimeout("document.getElementById('"+placeHolder+"').src ='"+imageFile+"';", 1000)
new Effect.SlideDown('photoboxgallery', { queue: 'end'});
}
</script>
