Forgot to post the link for a so-called poly-fill you can use for 
requestAnimationFrame (just note that the poly-fill uses the name 
requestAnimFrame):
http://www.paulirish.com/2011/requestanimationframe-for-smart-animating/

setTimeout is a last resort for older browsers. Another thing to be 
aware of with setInterval is that you can risk stacking your calls 
eventually blocking the browser. If your animation loop is expensive and 
uses more than the time budget allow you will add events that never can 
be consumed.
