Run Function After Delay

Question

I have the below global jQuery function stored, but on page load, I want to execute it after a 1000 delay. Is there something wrong with my syntax? I know the delay always goes

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() {

  // place this within dom ready function
  function showpanel() {     
    $(".navigation").hide();
    $(".page").children(".panel").fadeIn(1000);
 }

 // use setTimeout() to execute
 setTimeout(showpanel, 1000)

});
