[Javascript] delay in a function

[Peter Brunone]

Hi!

	Welcome to the list.  It looks like you want to use the
setTimeout function.

setTimeout("functionName()", timeInMilliseconds)

	The simplest way to do this would be

function desplegar(id) {
var d = document.getElementById(id);
setTimeout("d.style.display='block'", 1000);
}

	This will delay the display by one second (one thousand
milliseconds).

Regards,

Peter
