setTimeout is acting weird
- by mnish
I am trying to make a simple setTimeout, to make a div tag invisible after 2 seconds.
The setTimeout function makes the div invisible but irregularly, sometimes immediately and sometimes after 1 sec, and so on.
Here is my code:
function beginTimeOut(){
t = setTimeout(function(){hideSubMenu()},2000);
}
function hideSubMenu(){
var elem;
elem = document.getElementById("ul_navlist1");
elem.style.visibility="hidden";
clearTimeout(t);
}
By the way, t is a global variable. I have tried this too: t = setTimeout("hideSubMenu()",2000); but with the same irregular results.
