window.setInterval(function() { this.funcToBeCalled.apply(this); }, interval);
window.setTimeout(function() { this.funcToBeCalled.apply(this); }, t);
or
window.setInterval(function() { obj.funcToBeCalled.apply(obj); }, interval);
window.setTimeout(function() { obj.funcToBeCalled.apply(obj); }, t);

let me know if i am wrong, thanks! : yalpedoc AT gmail DOT com

setInterval( ‘globalScope[”‘ + this.uniqueId + ‘”][”updateTime”]();’, 999 );

instead.

The example from above w/o comments.

var globalScope = {currentId:0,getRandomId:function(){return this.currentId++;}};

function TimeTicker()
{
this.uniqueId = globalScope.getRandomId();
this.countdown = 0;
if( document.all ){
globalScope[ this.uniqueId ] = this;
setInterval( ‘globalScope[”‘ + this.uniqueId + ‘”][”updateTime”]();’, 999 );
} else {
this.timer = setInterval ( function( that ) { that.updateTime(); }, 999, this );
}
}
TimeTicker.prototype.updateTime = function()
{
window.status = this.uniqueId + ” : ” + this.countdown++;
}
