Javascript Timers with ASP.NET AJAX pageLoad() function

Question

function pageLoad() {

    clearTimeout("MessagesTimer");
    clearTimeout("NotificationsTimer");

    var MessagesTimer = setTimeout("CheckMessages()", 15000);
    var NotificationsTimer = setTimeout("CheckNotifications()", 15000);
}

After spending a couple of hours trying to understand why this isn't working I'm here to ask you guys why these timers won't clear after partial updatepanel postbacks? If there's a full postback the timers would reset but if i got a partial postback the timers will trigger in less than 15000ms depends on how many partial postbacks it could happen that they trigger with 0ms..

How can I solve this? Thanks

I'd like the timers to reset on partial postbacks.

var MessagesTimer;
var NotificationsTimer;

function pageLoad() {
    clearTimeout(MessagesTimer);
    clearTimeout(NotificationsTimer);

    MessagesTimer = setTimeout("CheckMessages()", 15000);
    NotificationsTimer = setTimeout("CheckNotifications()", 15000);
}

Remove the quotes from the clearTimeout lines.
Move definition of timers outside pageLoad function.
