Display a sentence, one character at a time

Question

I want to display a sentence one character at a time, one by one, with jQuery. Is there a plugin that can do this Or how could I get this effect?

Answer 1

var chars = $("#target").html().split(/./);
var content = "";
$.each(chars, function(index, value) { 
  content += ""+value+""; 
});

$("#target").html(content);
$("#target span").each(function(){
  $(this).show();
});
