i'm trying to make an invisible object appear after a few seconds by using setTimeOut directly in the mouse over event with little joy.

this is what i have:

onmouseover="window.setTimeout(document.getElement ById(\'img_XO\').style.visibility=\'visible\', 2000);"

the \s are php escape characters so the don't get sent by the server.

anybody got any clues?


cheers folks

setTimeout expects a string of Javascript to be eval'ed, or a function. You are trying to pass a single statement. Here, try wrapping it in a function:

onmouseover="window.setTimeout(function() { document.getElement ById('img_XO').style.visibility='visible'; }, 2000);"

sweet, thanks christopher
