Why is setTimeout not executed only once?

qi_gree

function getMessage ()
{
window.alert ("ok!");
var timer = setTimeout ("fLoadXml ('xml.xml', fShowXml);", 1000)
var timer = setInterval ("fLoadXml ('xml.xml', fShowXml);", 2000)
}
</ script>

I use getMessage () to execute fLoadXml ('xml.xml', fShowXml); both setTimeout and setInterval are executed only once and not executed. Why is this?
Wait online, thank you !!

The first parameter of setTimeout should be the function body (getMessage) and not what fLoadXml

newplayer

function getMessage ()
{
fLoadXml ("xml.xml", fShowXml);
}
var timer = setInterval ("getMessage", 2000)
</ script>

What about fLoadXml?

newplayer

function getMessage ()
{
fLoadXml ("xml.xml", fShowXml);
}
var timer = setInterval ("getMessage ()", 2000)
</ script>
