Re: Help

No offense has been taken ;-)
Textbooks, manuals and internet resources have mistakes and so does the site in question:
- it suggests w3schools made an error in [setTimeout("a string",milliseconds)] and clicking on the link above shows that that error applies to setInterval not setTimeout.
- When you look at setTimeout for w3schools it appears to be correctly formulated

All I'm saying is that someone can learn something even from w3schools because they have an option to try it out as you can see with setInterval example which means that anyone studying i.e trying to learn and not be a coding monkey would pick up on it and move forward. It does have errors (no questions about it), but it doesn't make invalidate its learning potential (otherwise Newtonian Physics would've fallen into the same basket).

In addition there are other resources, and communities that can help bridge the gaps and in doing so it justifies their "raison d'etre" ;-)

... I just hope we didn't scare Maha away.
