timeout issues

[taith]

for some reason, this is loading once, but is not repeating... any ideas?
[code]
<s c r i p t>
setTimeout(MyAjaxRequest('chat','hello.php?state=chatbox'),20);
</script>
[/code]

i should be able to do that no? or do i need to build a timer?

You need to build a timer or use setInterval.
