jQuery and setTimeout

Question

I have the following code:

            jQuery(document).ready(function()
            {
setTimeout($(\'#loading\').fadeIn(\'slow\'), 9999);
            });
         


        

Answer 1

The settimeout() function is from javascript and takes a function as an argument.

Best choice would be to use jQuery's builtin delay() function:

 jQuery(document).ready(function()
 {
   $('#loading').delay(9999).fadeIn('slow');
 });
