Is a func "myTime=setTimeout" autocleared by page unload. Or is "clearTimeout(mytime)" necessary?

Juergen Thelen, Staffan Gustavsson,

Functions, global variables, timers and stuff usually exists as long, 
as their declaring page is still alive. They will be automatically 
garbaged on close/unload of the declaring page, so no explicit 
clearTimeout() is necessary in your case... :o)
