jQuery delay()

The jQuery delay() method can be used to make a delay between the queued jQuery effects.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

$(document).ready(function(){

$("button").click(function(){

$("#div1").delay(3000).fadeIn();

});

</script>

</head>

<body>

<button>Click me</button><br>

</body>

</html>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ $("#div1").delay(3000).fadeIn(); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <button>Click me</button><br> <div id="div1" style="width:90px;height:90px;display:none;background-color:black;"></div><br> </body> </html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#div1").delay(3000).fadeIn();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>Click me</button><br>
<div id="div1" style="width:90px;height:90px;display:none;background-color:black;"></div><br>
</body>
</html>

Syntax:

$(selector).delay (speed, queueName)

$(selector).delay (speed, queueName)

Speed: Speed is an optional parameter whose value specifies the speed of the delay. It can take values as: “fast”, “slow” or values in milliseconds.

queueName: queueName is also an optional parameter that is used to specify the name of the queue. The default value of queueName is “fx”.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

$(document).ready(function(){

$("button").click(function(){

$("#div1").delay("fast").fadeIn();

$("#div2").delay("slow").fadeIn();

$("#div3").delay(1000).fadeIn();

$("#div4").delay(2000).fadeIn();

$("#div5").delay(4000).fadeIn();

});

</script>
