/*
function ddm_setTimeoutEx() calls whatever is in a string expression after a timeout period.
It is like the standard setTimeout() function except it works for all 4+ browsers and allows the user to specify an
arbitrary number of arguments for the function to be called.
It returns the timeout ID number, which can be used to cancel the timer.
The description: ddm_setTimeoutEx(functionRef, msecDelay, [, funcarg1, ... functionargn).
The function name should be within quotes. (quotes only required for Linux Firefox and Linux Konqueror, but work for all).
Example: var _ct = ddm_setTimeoutEx('kickMe',1000;'Please kick me!',4,'times') is like kickMe('kick me',4,'times') with 1000msec delay.
It is the similar to the  conventional setTimeout() option provided with argument references which is not implemented in IE.
The original argument types seem to get through to the function called after the timeout.
