Javascript Delay Question

korax · Oct 16, 2000

I have a shake browser script I am going to use, but I would like to delay the script by a few(?) seconds. Here is my script. Thanks for any help

<head>
<title>Earth Quake</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function earthquake()
{

for (i=30;i>=10;i--)
{
window.moveBy(10,10);
window.moveBy(-10,0);
window.moveBy(0,-10);
}

for (i=10;i>=1;i--)
{
window.moveBy(i,i);
window.moveBy(-i,0);
window.moveBy(0,-i);
}

}
</script>
<body onload="earthquake()">
</body>
</head>
</html> [sig][/sig]

Try setTimeout(code, delay)
code - code to be executed
delay - time in milliseconds before code is executed

like following:

<HTML>

<head>
<title>Earth Quake</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function earthquake()
{

for (i=30;i>=10;i--)
{
window.moveBy(10,10);
window.moveBy(-10,0);
window.moveBy(0,-10);
}

for (i=10;i>=1;i--)
{
window.moveBy(i,i);
window.moveBy(-i,0);
window.moveBy(0,-i);
}

}
</script>
<body onload="setTimeout('earthquake()',1000)">
</body>
</head>
</html>
