javascript delay?

[c-chan]

var obj = document.getElementById(divID);

obj.innerHTML = "<img src='images/check.png' width='20' height='20'/>&nbsp;&nbsp;SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED DATA!";

//DELAY

//hide the div

ing ana ako gusto buhatun. I tried puting sleep() but wala man ni effect. i just want a delay after the confirmation message.

i also tried setTimeout, pero di sad mu gana. I don't know sad if sakto ako pag gamit ani nga function. mag try ko ug experiment2x to get the result.

Any ideas to get the result would be greatly appreciated :> Thank you.

setTimeout("alert('hello')",2500);

Put your script within a function and then use setTimeout to run the function.

Delay in 5 seconds

MyDelay = setTimeout("YourFunction()",5000);

Did you use alerts or pop-ups in your delay function? maybe your browser blocks it that's why it doesn't work.

[c-chan]

no. i'm not using pop-ups

if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 && XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) 
{
obj2.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
obj.innerHTML = "<img src='images/check.png' width='20' height='20'/>&nbsp;&nbsp;SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED DATA!";
}

that's how the if function inside my ajax function looks like. I just wanted to show that confirmation message for about 5 secs.

if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 && XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) 
{
obj2.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
mydelay = setTimeout(hiddiv(),5000);
}

that's how it looked after. the hiddiv() function shows the confirmation message.

unsa imong server side ani bro PHP?

[c-chan]

yes, it's php.

[prokops]

adto nalang ka mag set ug delay pwed raman cguro

sleep(5);

[c-chan]

ahmm...naka ajax man gud sya. so after niya ma receive ang response (which is gikan sa isa ka php nga page), iya dayun to ipa view ang confirmation message.

waaa lisura i explain sa process T^T
