setInterval and objects

[Jeff]

I've been trying to pass in an object in a setInterval but it
complains about missing ] after elenment list.

setInterval("so meFunction("+so me_object+")",1 000);

What's the correct syntax to do this?

In the code you've written some_object is converted to a string which
is probably something like the string "[object object]". Try this code
in your browser

alert("someFunc tion("+some_obj ect+")");

What you likely want to do is use a function as the first argument to
setInterval.

setInterval(fun ction(){someFun ction(some_obje ct);},1000);
