setTimeout does not work in IE
I'm about to bang my head against something real at at this point. Once again, MS proved you have to spend loads of time figuring things out, or simply go with only them.
Anyhow, I'm doing a simple thing that resizes an image on mouseover/out, and I just don't get at this point why it would not work in IE.. The idea is: have N id'd images on the page, a class for an image with some props, and a manager class that deals with them. Now, this works perfectly in FF (NS then too, havent gotten to Safari/Opera yet) - even better than I expected. IE, however, seems to call the function being passed to setTimeout only one time, and then no js errors, nothing, it's like it quits. Very needed advise is absolutely appreciated!
You can see the code live at http://www.luefher.com/images/ebay/templates/clean-blue/template.html.
Another thing, although that's rather dhtml/css, is that I've tried to position them images vertically centered, and it works with a table at the first run and relative positioning, but after mouseover it pulls to the top...

to mplungjan - no it doesn't understand 'px' - don't know why... it understands it later, but if you remove luefher_iePix(int) it says wrong argument on the first run...

self - i didn;t know that. damn.
anyhow, the whole problem was timer with oop, trying to get it ro pass an object. found a good js class here: http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/toolbox/examples/2003/CCallWrapper/index_en.html
works like charm!

IE also understands px, it is more forgiving than FF so you MUST use px in FF
but you CAN use px too in IE so you can change
return px + (luefher_isIE ? '' : 'px');
to
return px + 'px';
