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.

Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("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>
<body>
<button>Fade</button>
<br><br>
<div class="demo1"></div><br>
<div class="demo2"></div><br>
</body>
</html>
