IE 6/7 setInterval/setTimeout scope problem

[greenone]

if you're calling a function via setTimeout/setInterval in IE6/7 and you're using jQuery within the function called it is not recognized and leads to an error.

example:

<div id="bar">...</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function foo() {
   $('#bar').hide();
}
setTimeout("foo()", 1000);
</script>
