[thelist] setInterval in class method

[Jan Guichelaar [artmiks]]

I found the solution
I lost scope when i called the setInterval function (this excists 
outside of the class, but is a global function)

i had to pass 'this' to the grow function,

growTimer = setInterval(grow, 500, this);

grow(objRef) {
    objRef.registerNode();
}

thanx
 all
