I know this topic is so old but here is my solution about passing parameters in setInterval function   Html   var fiveMinutes   60   2  var display   document querySelector   timer    startTimer fiveMinutes  display     JavaScript   function startTimer duration  display        var timer   duration          minutes  seconds       setInterval function              minutes   parseInt timer   60  10           seconds   parseInt timer   60  10            minutes   minutes  lt  10    0    minutes   minutes          seconds   seconds  lt  10    0    seconds   seconds           display textContent   minutes         seconds          --timer     put boolean value for minus values          1000

You can pass the parameter s  as a property of the function object  not as a parameter   var f   this someFunction     use  this  if called from class f parameter1   obj  f parameter2   this  f parameter3   whatever  setInterval f  1000     Then in your function someFunction  you will have access to the parameters  This is particularly useful inside classes where the scope goes to the global space automatically and you lose references to the class that called setInterval to begin with  With this approach   parameter2  in  someFunction   in the example above  will have the right scope

You can use a library called underscore js  It gives a nice wrapper on the bind method and is a much cleaner syntax as well  Letting you execute the function in the specified scope   http   underscorejs org  bind    bind function  scope   arguments

That problem would be a nice demonstration for use of closures  The idea is that  a function uses a variable of outer scope  Here is an example     setInterval makeClosure  Snowden    1000   function makeClosure name    var ret  ret   function        console log  Hello      name      return ret      Function  makeClosure  returns another function  which has access to outer scope variable  name   So  basically  you need pass in whatever variables to  makeClosure  function and use them in function assigned to  ret  variable  Affectingly  setInterval will execute function assigned to  ret
