User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.19.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.2 Safari/530.19
Build Identifier: 3.5.3
The following code works fine in Safari, but never in Firefox.
<html>
<body onload="start();">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var boxWidth = 0;
function start(){
document.write('<div class="box" style="position:absolute;top:10px;left:10px;height:400px;background-color:#000000;z-index:0;"></div>');
expandBox();
}
function expandBox() {
boxWidth += 20;
document.getElementsByClassName('box')[0].style.width = boxWidth + 'px';
if(boxWidth < 600) {
window.setTimeout("expandBox()", 42);
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy code
2. paste in html file
3. test in any browser
Actual Results:
setTimeout() doesn't recall the function.
Expected Results:
black box expands to 680px width.
Not the first time I've encountered it, Firefox is almost useless when animating with setTimeout().

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090915 Shiretoko/3.5.4pre With Firefox 3.5 I see no black box and with latest trunk and Namoroko I do see a box but a small one. Only Google Chrome shows a wider box.

What happens if you call it with setTimeout(expandBox, 42) instead of the eval syntax? Does it still not call?
