setTimeout not working

[MJB3K]

Hi, i have the following code, and can someone tell me why the buildLayout() function isn't called?

Early in the script is:
if(response == "Login Successful"){
    to = setTimeout(showUpdate(),1000);
}

function showUpdate(){
	document.getElementById("buildStatus").innerHTML = "Building Layout... Please Wait...";
		
	clearTimeout(to);
		
	//build layout for logged in users
		
	setTimeout(buildLayout(),2000);
}
	
function buildLayout(){
	document.getElementById("layoutStatus").innerHTML = "User Panel... Done!";
}

Any ideas??


Regards,

Martin

Put "buildLayout()" in QUOTES inside the setTimeout call.

The same should be applied to your showUpdate()/setTimeout() call.
