[jQuery] Passing jQuery object to a function

[vmrao]

I have the following code. I am getting an error in the setTimeout
function, "tabLink" is undefined. Not sure what am I doing wrong.

function playGlobalNewsFn(obj) {
obj.click();
}


$('#playGlobalNews').click(function() {
        var timeLag = 1000;
        $("#tabPanel2 ul li").each(function() {
                var tabLink = $(this).find("a");
                setTimeout("playGlobalNewsFn(tabLink); return false;", 
timeLag);        //
error here
                timeLag = timeLag + 3000;
        });
});
