passing values to function via setInterval problem

[MJB3K]

Hi, i have this code below, and it doesn't seem to work properly for some strange reason

function getText(roomName){
	alert("room " + roomName);
	// Open PHP script for requests 
	http3.open('post', 'ajax.php?act=getText&roomName='+roomName); 
	http3.onreadystatechange = handleResponse3; 
	http3.send(null);
	
	setInterval("getText()", 5000, roomName);
}

It doesn't seem to pass the variable of roomName back in...

any ideas??

Regards,

Martin

Because it should be

setInterval("getText('" + roomname + "')", 5000);

Where did you see that setInterval's third parameter should be arguments to the function called in it?
