How do I create a 3 second delay in this jQuery. I want it to load the text 3 seconds after the page

OK… that doesn’t look too good!

You can use a `setTimeout` to delay the execution of a block of code. For example:

jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var intervalTime = 50,
div = jQuery(“.animate”),
st = div.text(),
timer, count = 0,
total = st.length;
div.html(“”).css(“visibility”, “visible”);

setTimeout(function() {
timer = setInterval(showLetters, intervalTime);
}, 3000);

function showLetters() {
if (count < total) {
div.html(div.text().split(“_”).join(“”) + st.charAt(count) + “”);
count++;
} else {
clearInterval(timer);
}
}
});

And btw, to get code to look good on this forum, select it all, hit the ‘Code’ button, and make sure there’s a line break before and after it.

hi everyone,

I’m trying to add this moving/sliding tab into my page. Here’s its demo page: http://www.queness.com/resources/html/movetab/index.html

Can anyone point out what mistake I’m doing ?
