setTimeout with a local variable?

Question

function doAnimation(element, stuff){           
    setTimeout(animate(element, stuff), 1000);              
    }

function animate(element, stuff) {
}

Is there a simple solution to my problem? I have looked all over the place but cannot find what I am looking for.

Please include more detail about what you're trying to do, what isn't working, etc — markasoftware, Nov 28 '14 at 20:38

Try this,

function doAnimation(element, stuff){           
  setTimeout(function () { animate(element, stuff) }, 1000);              
}

function animate(element, stuff) {
}
