setInterval doesn't work?

Question

var until = $("#time").html();

function updateTime() {
    $("#time").html(
        date("d", until) + " day(s)<br />" +
        date("h", until) + " hour(s)<br />" +
        date("i", until) + " minute(s)<br />" +
        date("s", until) + " second(s)"
    );
}

setInterval("updateTime(until)",1000);

Everytime I run this, I get this error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: until is not defined (anonymous function)

I can't see whats wrong. I've tried to google a lot, but every page that I find, says that setInterval() is right.

Answer 1

Closures:

setInterval(function() {updateTime(until); }, 1000);
