Javascript Delay Timer

[perezf]

Hello everyone,

 

I found a javascript online that allows me to do a 'fake pop up' onto the screen. Here's my code for it:

</div>

 

Basically, the screen appears, and if you click on the screen, it should disappear and then another window should appear in its place. I have it working fine, I just can't get it to hide itself.

 

Also, I need to do a timer on it. This pop up needs to appear 5 seconds after the home page is loaded. I'm not quite sure how that is done.

 

This whole thing is like a 'fake chat screen' that appears, and when you click on it, it loads the actual chat room window.

 

 

Thank you!

That worked perfect. That is exactly what I needed.

Only thing is, it doesn't hide the first box in firefox. It loads it fine, but when I exit the actual chat window, the original image is still there. Is this a bug in firefox?

 

Again, thank you!
