[Javascript] How to pass an object to a function

[Flavio Gomes]

<span id='menuitem1' onMouseOver="miOver(this)">hover here</span>

<script>

function miOver(obj) {
  timerid = setTimeout("doSomething('" + obj.id + "')", 1000); //I put 
two extra apostrophe here
  }

function doSomething(obj) {
  obj = document.getElementById(obj); //Making it mozilla and alike 
compatible
  alert(obj.id);
  }
</script>
