hello,
i will not waste the time

i want to make a script in javascript
this script change the hot news shown in an area

start news1
after 5 sec news2
after 5 sec news3
and so on..

i want to have break between the news 5 sec

when i used this code

alert("before waiting");
setTimeout("alert('now')",5000);
alert("after waiting");

that was the result
1-before waiting
2-after waiting
3-now (appeared after 5 sec)

but i want to be

1-before waiting
2-now (after 5 sec)
3-after waiting

and when i used wait() instead of setTimeout()
only "before waiting" alert appeard and the "after waiting" alert didn't appeared

DO u help me to set timebreak between the news??

Ohh. you want the script to pause. JavaScript is multi-threaded. It won't pause untill setTimeout() executes, the execution of rest of the script will carry on.
