[Javascript] [JavaScript List] setInterval 3rd Parameter

[Matt Barton]

O'Reilly's DHTML book says the following about the third (or more) 
parameter to setInterval():

"IE permits a third parameter to specify a different scripting language 
in which the expression [in the first parameter] is to run.  Unless it 
is a VBScript parameter you can omit this parameter.  Navigator, 
however, lets you substitute a function reference  (not a string) as the 
first parameter, and pass a comma-delimited list of parameters that go 
to the function call.  These parameters go after the msecs time, and 
they can be any data types."

The function definitions supplied:

setInterval ("scriptExpression", msecs[, language])
setInterval (functionReference, msecs[, arg1, ..., argn])
