SetInterval behaving like setTimeout
This one's gotta be really obvious, but for the life of me, I just can't figure out what's wrong in the below code:
Code:
function test(){
alert('Hello world');
}
function startTetst(){
intervalReturnValue = window.setInterval(test(), 2000);
}
When I execute with an onclick, I'll get "Hello World" once, and once only. What have I screwed up?

You're passing the return value of test() to setInterval, which is undefined. You need to pass test itself.
Code:
function startTetst(){ // isn't there an extra "t" in there?
intervalReturnValue = setInterval(test, 2000);
}

Ah, now I feel like a right ***. Thanks for that!
//No, I always write my tetst functions with an extra 't'.
