Question

I’m trying to animate a banner (width 100%, height 150px) that is hidden (position relative, top -150px) at the load of document. I want to show it after 3 seconds, what am I doing wrong? This seems pretty straight forward?

$(function() {
    var t = setTimeout(popmenu(), 3000);

    function popmenu() {

        $('#bcktop').animate({ 
                top : "+=150" 
            }, 150
        );            
    }       
});

Answer 1

You are calling popmenu rather than passing the function:

var t = setTimeout(popmenu(), 3000);

should be:

var t = setTimeout(popmenu, 3000);
