     function heartbeat() { ... };

     setTimeout('heartbeat();', 1000);
}

Error: heartbeat is not defined

Anyone dealt with this before?

Cheers

try this

$.Plugin = function(obj,opt)
{
     init();
     
     function init() { ... };
     function heartbeat() { ... };

     setTimeout(heartbeat, 1000);
}

no braces no parentheses just pass the function object itself instead of a string.
