Why do people use setTimeout("func()", ... ) instead of setTimeout(func, ... )
<p>I see this used a lot and I was told putting the function reference between quotes was bad because <code>setTimeout</code>/<code>setInterval</code> <code>evals</code> the reference. What is the actual difference between these two such that one is used over the other and why do I see this used so frequently even though it should be common knowledge that this one way is bad?</p>
