a timed script

**darkzeroman** · September 21st, 2004, 2:09 PM

does any one here know the javascript code for a script that should start...say after ten seconds. I have the script I want to run, but I need it done after a certain amount of time another script finishes. Any one know of such a script?
Thanx

You use the onLoad property in your HTML body tag to start the script.
example --
<BODY onLoad="start()">

In the script have a function named start
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function start() {
}
</SCRIPT>

In the start function, use SETTIMEOUT to initiate another function, which contains the javascript you want to run. (You could skip the start function and just have onLoad="settimeout blah blah")

I'm too lazy to reference the settimeout function right now, but it's easy to use. Google it.

thanx for the info, but I messed up on my part. This is what I want to do:
(Guest clicks link)--> (This triggers a script) --> (After 10 seconds another script is triggered.)
