Hi
I'm still new to jQuery (I'm getting tired of saying that <g>) but do
you have an example usage of your new plugin?
I tried:
$.period(myCallBack);
and this seem to work, my simple callback adds a list to a listbox to
provide the visual. But it only did it once.
I was trying to change the frequency (without altering your code) but
I'm not yet well verse to read a jQuery function or plugin to see how
it is implemented without documentation. However, with trial and
error, I did try this:
$.period(myCallBack, "{frequency: 5}");
but that didn't seem to take. The frequency was still 10. An
example will help. :-)

Are you saying your provided code is not quite right for FF and the 1
time callback I saw under FF is an example behavior? And under IE its
works fine?
