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.
