Answer 1

Now sure how the code got out of hand, you could just do:

setInterval(function () {
  var span = $("#text-loader").children("span:eq(0)");
  var ellipsis = span.html();
  ellipsis = ellipsis + ".";
  if (ellipsis.length > 5) {
    ellipsis = ".";
  }
  span.html(ellipsis);
}, 1000);


  This will display at second 1: "Waiting for your input.

And as for the 1, you can swap that out with the number of periods.
