Question

I’m rather new to jQuery, and I’m not too sure which direction to take on this, but I’d like to have some sort of jQuery or Javascript where I can go in, and have a .delay() function of about 3 seconds meanwhile it displays “Please Wait” then shows the div contents. I’m sorry I have no code to show, I only can describe the theory. =/

Thank you for any help provided – Necro

<div id="mydiv">

  <span id="loading">Loading...</span>

  <span id="content" style="display:none;">Bla bla bla</span>

</div>

<script>
setTimeout(function(){

  $("#loading").hide(100); //100 = animation speed in miliseconds
  $("#content").show(100);

}, 3000); //3000 miliseconds = 3 seconds
</script>
