I like to have a sleep or delay function in javascript. The Prototype library 1.6.1 has a delay function. It is working well in Firefox or Chrome but not IE 7 on windows XP. (I cannot use newer version of windows).
I've got a very simple animation happening that when I try to wrap in a delay method that I found here, the last process does not work (animation opacity 1). Any ideas, pointers? $.fn.delay = function(time, callback){ // Empty function: jQuery.fx.step.delay = function(){}; // Return meaningless animation, (will be added to queue) return this.animate({delay:1}, time, callback); }$('#map').delay(500, function(){ $('#mapper').attr('style', 'background: url(' + this.src + ');'); $(this).stop().animate({opacity: 0}, 0); $(this).attr('src', '/public/images/team/map0.jpg'); $(this).stop().animate({opacity: 1}, 600); });
On this web site I'm developing for a client, he wants to have a simple search form on his main page, then, when the link for 'advanced' search is clicked, that form should be replaced by a more advanced search form. My solution works, but there's one problem. The advanced form can be seen before the simple form has been completely hidden, despite there being a delay function call before it. Any reason why delay doesn't seem to do its job here?
I'm looking for a sleep function in JS. An event is triggered on mouse-out. But I want the action to kick off x seconds AFTER the event. So, perhaps I'm looking for a "sleep" function in the event function?
We have to develop a small engine which the client uses. It supposed to work like this. Our engine resides in a frame (frameA) which will be loaded only once and it provides set of functions. The client can call these functions. We inturn should get the values from the server or set the values in the server and return with the values. The way we are planning to implement is that we will have have another frame (frameB hidden) and submit it whenever the client (frameClient) calls our function and wait till the page reloads and return with the value ( set in the reloaded page by the server). The problem we face now is that we don't have any sleep functionality in javascript ( being event driven) and if we have a loop waiting for the reply, it will consume the cpu cycles and the the frameB wont load.
From some examples, I created a sleep() function which can put a javascript into sleep while it is executing. It is using the IE-only function showModalDialog. Does anybody know a function which does the same in Firefox and other browsers, or a function which also stops the execution of a script temporary?
The reasoning behind this is because I am unable to modify the page that the frame is calling and a pop-up needed to be loaded in front of it. The problem is, when this page is run the pop-up comes into focus, but when the frame called URL is finished loading, the pop-up is pushed to the back. I cannot seem to find a way to make it focus and I think that delaying the pop-up from lauching would solve this problem but I have been unable to properly implement it.
Is there a way to delay a call to a page counter (ie. call to a server script from an IMG tag) for the purpose to not lock the page loading awaiting counter be displayed.
Maybe a setTimeout() launching an equivalent of "document.write", but writing in a specific DIV ? Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Actually, the counter is called (without delay) like this :
With a script that hides a <div> a couple of seconds after the page is loaded. I have little to no experience in Java, so i'm not sure how to go about it.
Quick question. Is there a way in javascript to cause a delay before a new page loads on clicking a link? I'm working on a function that I'd like to run when a link is clicked but before it's followed.
IMPORTANT: javascript must be free to run another function during this delay.
If possible, I'd like to avoid having to use any <a href="javascript:someFunction()"> type links into the html. Designers with little to no coding experience beyond very basic HTML and CSS will be using this script, and I want to make their job (and mine) easier.
I have the following CSS menu, which uses a js to create the menu on Mouseover... I want to add a delay onMouseOut... I have tried the setTimeout function, but am having some trouble getting it to work... the submenu just stays out...
var menuids=new Array("verticalmenu") //Enter id(s) of UL menus, separated by commas var submenuoffset= 0 //Offset of submenus from main menu. Default is -2 pixels. function createcssmenu(){ for (var i=0; i<menuids.length; i++){ var ultags=document.getElementById(menuids[i]).getElementsByTagName("ul") for (var t=0; t<ultags.length; t++){ [Code]..
I've got a script that caches 52 card images and displays the appropriate card based on user input. It works fine, except when the page loads for the first time the results are unpredictable until a few seconds elapse. My guess is that it's taking time to cache the 52 images. Is there any way to delay the loading of the page until all 52 images are cached?
I have a function which shows the caption of an image in a span tag part of an image slider. The idea is that when the function is called I change the image (this is fine), hide the span containing the alt tag info, change the text to the next image's alt tag and show it again.
The whole thing works fine exept for one thing, I have added a delay before I change the text content of the span tag but it does not seem to take the delay, the text is changed immediately as teh function is called:
I have three <div> with text. On clicking on a menu <div>, the associated text <div> will slideDown(). When I click the next one, I have the last one hide() and the next slideDown(), but I would rather have the last one fadeOut() before the next one slideDown().
But the next <div> 'pushes' the last one down as it fades.
Here's what I've got now. The only one I've tried to get to work the way I want is the <div class="work_button"> And no giggling at my elementary code:
I have a page that is a displaying a Movie, or it's really 3 Movies but to get to the 2nd Movie the user has to click a "Next" button. My problem is that I want to delay this button to appear until the movie is more or less done... could be 7 or 16 minutes. What would be the easiest and most propriate way to do this using jQuery... swaping out one DIV for another once after X minutes?
I am using the slideshow script below on my website and would like to know if it is possible to delay the start of the slideshow until at least the first image has fully downloaded.
I have a script to call upon a random link every time the page is visited. What I can't figure out is how to delay this loading by 1 or two seconds.it changes the page as soon as the page is loaded. How would I go about delaying this code for a second or two?
<script> var randomlinks=new Array() randomlinks[0]="http://www.google.com"[code]....
