1) Script Title: DHTML announcement box (popupbox)

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/abox.htm

3) Describe problem:
No problem with the actual script. I have been trying to modify it so it does not popup immediately on entering the page but delaying it for a few seconds. Is this possible? I have tried all i know. For example <body onload setimeout etc etc. Any advice would be appreicated deeply.

Regards
Kase

<body onload="javascript:setTimeout('function', X*1000)">

where "function" is the initialization functin and "X" is the number of seconds you want it to delay

The javascript keyword can't be used there, that's only first anchor's "href" property. That undefined X won't work either:

<body onload="setTimeout(function() {element.style.display='block'}, 1000)">
Set the "element"'s display to an initial, display:none, then do as above.

1000 = 1 seconds / 1000 milliseconds.
