Ah, OK. I guess there's a reason for the disclaimer at the top ("This
book is badly out of date and will probably never be updated."), then.

Thank you. I found the tutorial on this page at

this was some weird voodoo thing you have to do to get the sandbox to
work properly. I got it working using the code above.
Thanks,

Much better is something along the following lines:
function helloWorld() {
alert('hello world');}
window.setTimeout(helloWorld, 60);
Note the use of the function's name as a symbol directly (rather than
inside a string) and without calling it (there are no parentheses
immediately following its reference in setTimeout). That saves a
reference to the function object itself for setTimeout to call. (This
works in ordinary JavaScript too; it's not a GM-specific feature at all.)

for me. I am on a Mac with Firefox 3.6.3. I tried doing
window.helloworld = function() from the tutorial and do a setTimeout.
I keep getting an error that helloworld is not defined.
window.helloworld = function() {
alert('hello world');
};
window.setTimeout('helloworld()', 60);
