jQuery delay() with Examples


The delay() method in jQuery is used to set a delay to delay the execution of the next item in the queue.

Syntax

The syntax is as follows −

$(selector).delay(speed,queue)

Above, the parameter speed is the speed of delay, whereas the queue is the name of the queue.

Let us now see an example to implement the jQuery delay() method 

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

      $("button").click(function(){
         $(".demo1").delay("slow").fadeIn();
         $(".demo2").delay(500).fadeIn();
      });
   });
</script>
<style>
.demo1 {
   margin:20px;
   width:300px;
   height:100px;
   display:none;
   background-color:red;
}
.demo2 {
   margin:20px;
   width: 300px;
   height:100px;
   display:none;
   background-color:green;
}
</style>
</head>
