  • When you put a string in `setTimeout`, it will be `eval`ed. `setTimeout` expects a function as a first parameter, so you'll be fine just using `setTimeout(open_popup, 200)`. – Zirak Aug 31 '11 at 04:05

setTimeout returns a handle that you can use the clear the timeout:

var timer = setTimeout(open_popup,  200);

clearTimeout(timer);

That of course assumes you put the timer variable in a scope that is accessible to both scripts and that you clear the timeout before it fires.

    Also note that he passed the actual function to `setTimeout()`, and not a string to be `eval()`d. Using `eval()` (or any other function that internally `eval()`s code) is usually considered a bad practice.
