This method is used in the scripting of continually looping tasks with delays between the execution of instructions. It will invoke the expression after a delay of the value in the msecs field. The syntax and options are below. It should be noted that Netscape and Internet Explorer differ slightly in thier implementations of this method. IE lets you specify the expression parameter, the default being JavaScript. Netscape lets you pass any comma delimited string as the expression parameter.
