Answer 1

JavaScript provides a setTimeout function:

var timeoutID = window.setTimeout(code, delay);

Answer 2

You should use setInterval like this

setInterval( "alert('Hello')", 5000 );

Answer 3

The main method is:

 setInterval(function () {
        console.log('it works' + new Date());
    },30000);

If you need to clear interval in future:

var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
            console.log('it works' + new Date());
        },30000); 

in the future:

clearInterval(myInterval);

Answer 4

Try something like this:

HTML:

<ul id="ticker">
    <li>Image 1</li>
    <li>Image 2</li>
    <li>Image 3</li>
    <li>Image 4</li>
    <li>Image 5</li>
</ul>​

CSS:

ul{height:20px; overflow:auto}​

JS:

var $ticker = $('ul#ticker');
var speed = 300;
var pause = 3000;

var tick = function () {
    var first = $ticker.find('li').first().animate({
        height: 0
    }, speed).hide('normal', function() {
        $(this).remove();
        $ticker.append('<li>' + first + '</li>');
    }).html();
};

$('ul#ticker').click(tick);
setInterval(tick, pause);

Here, a simple Demo.
