RichFaces.showModalPanel + window.setTimeout + IExplorer 7 b

Hi,

I've implemented a simple javascript in order to show a waiting dialog after a form submit only when users are asked to wait more than 2 secs.

<script>
 function showWaitDialog() {
 Richfaces.showModalPanel("loading_panel",{width:250, height:150});
 }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
 <h:form id="form" onsubmit="window.setTimeout('showWaitDialog()', 2000);">

On Firefox, this work but on IExplorer 7 it fails. The problem is due to the combination of setTimeout and showModalPanel since the same code without setTimeout works on IExplorer too and, at the same way, if I use the setTimeout for invoking a regular js alert function (instead of Richfaces.showModalPanel), it also works on IExplorer.

Any suggestion for achieving my purpose? I'm using RichFaces 3.1.2GA
Thanks.
