Question

I have the following:

  setTimeout(function()
    $('.golden').animate({
      opacity: "1",
      top: "84px"
    }, 'slow');
  }, 1000 );

It returns Unexpected identifier.

But if I just do this:

    $('.golden').animate({
      opacity: "1",
      top: "84px"
    }, 'slow');

it works.

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

You don’t have the correct syntax. Use this :

   setTimeout(function() { // <= you were missing { to open the function block
    $('.golden').animate({
      opacity: "1",
      top: "84px"
    }, 'slow');
   }, 1000 );
