Answer 1

The answer I will type is the answer Show text letter by letter , but I made some changes to it

HTML

Javacript

var showText = function (target, message, index, interval) {    
  if (index < message.length) { 
    //$(target).append(message[index++]);
    $(target).text($(target).text() + message[index++]);
    setTimeout(function () { showText(target, message, index, interval); }, interval); 
  } 
}

$(function () { 
  showText("#msg", "Hello, World!", 0, 80);    
  //showText("#msg", "Hello, World!", 0, 500);
}); 

CSS

#msg {
    color: #6d67c6;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    font-size: 30px;
    font-weight: bold;
}
