js for am-i-logged-in

am-i-logged-in.js

$(document).ready(function() {
    am_i_logged_in_interval = setInterval("am_i_logged_in()", 60000);
});

function am_i_logged_in() {

	address = window.location.protocol+'//'+window.location.hostname+'/am-i-logged-in';

	$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: address,
        success: function(data) {
            try{
                response = $.parseJSON(data);
                if(response.success == true) {
                    // good, user is logged in!
                }
                else {
                    notify('Oops! You might be logged out, please, back up your content and refresh the page!', 'long');
                }
            }
            catch(err) {
                alert('Oops! An error: '+err.message, 'error');
            }
        }
    });
}

setInterval("am_i_logged_in()", 60000);

Wouldn't it be easier to pass the function object: setInterval(am_i_logged_in, 60000);
