To use this method from a popup, both method and argument must refer to parent: e.g. parent.clearTimeout(parent.timeoutid) ... neglect to do-so, does-not cause an error, Just fails to clear.... [alt. try with(parent) clearTimeout(timeoutid)]
This requirement is so even though timeoutid's appear to be consecutive (minorly increasing) among parent and popup windows....
