Question

I need to pause for maybe 500 miliseconds before I submit a form. Here is what I have so far:

 $('.rowqty input').bind('keyup', function() { $('#ViewCartPage form').animate({ opacity: 1.0 }, 3000).submit() }); 

so when someone changes the quantity of the input field it submits the form, but I want it to wait for a slight amount of time incase they need a moment to type 2 or 3 numbers.

As you can see I tried the animate function to try and delay things but with no luck.

I know I could use this: http://blog.mythin.net/projects/jquery.php

I’d rather not add another JS to my site if there is a way around it.

EDIT: Actually the pause plugin above is not working for me either.

Answer 1

Give this a shot:

$('.rowqty input').bind('keyup', function() { setTimeout('$('#ViewCartPage form').submit()', 500 });
