SetTimout
Mar 8, 2006Within a function I would like to use a variable in the setTimout string,
for example:
var jHello = 'Hello'
setTimeout("alert(" + jHello + ")", 1000);
This gives jHello undefined error.
What is the correct syntax?

JQuery :: Can't Get Settimout Or Callback To Work?
Aug 15, 2009i downloaded a slideshow script called galleria. problem is when it loads, my header image, which i have sliding in, gets really choppy. so, i want the galleria script to execute after the header animation
is done. i haven't been able to get anything to work, including attempting callback, hacks, and settimeout. here's my current code, which does not delay the beginning of the galleria script. what am i doing wrong, very curious?

Resetting And Restarting SetTimout() Within The Same Function?
Dec 23, 2010I'm trying to set up an form validation through ajax and php. My goal is to have the php script called after the user stops typing, but without the need to exit the field (so, I don't want to use onChange or onBlur). I would like to use an "onKeypress" (or onKeyup/onKeydown) command with a delay (setTimout) of about a second or so. This way, the php script will not be called on every key stroke, but once the user pauses typing long enough for the setTimout to expire, and only then will it call the php script and perform the validation check.
Part of the script I'm having problems with is resetting the setTimout after each key stroke. I've got this much working:
Code:
<script>
function execute() {
setTimeout("validate()", 1000);
}

how to properly reset the timer after key strokes?
SetTimout Function - Delay The Load By Three Seconds?
Mar 19, 2010I have this function delayLoad()
function delayLoad()
{
setTimeout('window.open('test.swf','FacNews', 'width=303,height=757,left=1005,top=0')',3000);
}
test.swf is a flash file within the same folder. I am invoking this function using
<body onload="delayLoad()">
What am I doing wrong for this not to delay the load by three seconds? I am having a system login that spawns a child window so I need to delay the window load of the swf so that it is on top. Its been years since I've done javascript, is there some other kind of methodology that I could possibly use?
Make A Fade In Animation With SetTimout - Why Animation Only Subtract
Aug 27, 2011I've been messing with this code to make a fade in animation with setTimout. The only thing is addition isn't working on the fade in. A subtraction on a negative works though. This seems strange to me.
changeit.style.opacity -= -0.01; works but when it's changed to changeit.style.opacity += 0.01; there's no fade in. It's the only thing I change. My intuition says to me it should work with addition, but maybe there's something I'm not understanding.
<html>
changeit.style.opacity -= -0.01; if this is set to changeit.style.opacity += 0.01; it doesn't work. What?
Of course this is all just for Firefox for now. If I put this in something useful I'll change it so it'll work in other browsers later.
