Automatically move div with javascript on delay

I have the below piece of code that moves a onto the screen when ?added is in the URL which works great. I now need to add a piece of code to it that then moves the back over after 5 seconds. I have noticed there's a delay function but I'm not sure how to add it into the code. Can anyone help? Many thanks!
$(document).ready(
function () {
if (document.URL.indexOf("?added") >= 0) {
$('#popout-left-menu-container')
.animate({
'right': '2px'
}, 300);
};
});

You can use the setTimeout function to delay something in javascript. Maybe like this:
$('#popout-left-menu-container').animate({'right':'2px'},300);
setTimeout(function(){
//This is animation that runs after 5 seconds. You can use it to move the block back.
//You have to set your parameters yourself here
$('#popout-left-menu-container').animate({'right':'0px'},300);
}, 5000);

$(document).ready(
function () {
if (document.URL.indexOf("?added") >= 0) {
setTimeout(function(){
$('#popout-left-menu-container')
.animate({
right:'2px'
},300);
},5000);
};
});

You should do it with .delay().
$("query").animate(firstAnimation, firstDuration).delay(milliseconds).animate(secondAnimation, secondDuration);

How to continuously bounce an object when site is live

I am new to JavaScript and jQuery. I have trouble in my new project. I want to need a image is bouncing. I got a script from net. But This function is only for jumping on the click.I want its jumping when the site is loaded. Please help me.
Link http://www.tycoonlabs.com/help/bouncing%20-%20Copy.html
This is my script
<SCRIPT>
$(function(){
$('#bouncy1').click(function () {
$(this).effect("bounce", { times:5 }, 300);
});
});
</SCRIPT>
Thanks and Regards

If you want to have it bounce while something is happening and then stop it, you could use setInterval
var interval = setInterval(function(){
jQuery('#someId').effect('bounce', {times: 5}, 300);
}, 500); // every half second
// Do some stuff to load up your site;
clearInterval(interval); // Stop the bounce interval
You may want to adjust the times parameter and the delay to meet your needs and effect.

Try this:
<script>
$(function(){
function bounceObject(obj)
{
obj.effect("bounce", { times:5 }, 300);
}
bounceObject($('#bouncy1'));
$('#bouncy1').click(function () {
bounceObject($(this));
});
});
</script>

this works well
function bounce(){
$('#test').effect( "bounce", "slow", bounce);
}
bounce();

jQuery .slideUp() effect running issue

Can anybody tell me why the Effect is running so often is hovered. I mean you hover 3 times without to wait that the Effect is finished and than you can wait until the Effect has run 3 times.
$(function() {
$('#dropdown_nav li').find('.sub_nav').hide();
$('#dropdown_nav li').hover(function() {
$(this).find('.sub_nav').slideDown(300);
}, function() {
$(this).find('.sub_nav').delay(2000).slideUp(300);
});
});
Here can it be tested: http://jsfiddle.net/QTGvJ/

Using .stop() will clear the animation queues
LIVE DEMO
$('#dropdown_nav li').on('mouseenter mouseleave',function() {
$('.sub_nav', this).stop().slideToggle();
});
With delay for the mouseleave:
$('#dropdown_nav li').on('mouseenter mouseleave',function( e ) {
var delayTime = e.type=='mouseleave' ? 1000 : 0;
$('.sub_nav', this).stop().delay( delayTime ).slideToggle();
});

How to add a wait time before hover function is executed

I am working on a nested menu, and when my mouse move over a option, a sublist will show up.
Here is my hover function:
$( ".sublist" ).parent().hover( function () {
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover",300); //use to change the background color
$(this).find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500); //sub list show / hide
});
Now, I want add a short period before the sublist shows up to prevent the crazy mouse moving from user. Does somebody have a good suggestion on this?
Update:
Thanks for you guys, I did a little bit change on my program, recently it looks like this:
function doSomething_hover (ele) {
ele.toggleClass("li_hover",300);
ele.find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500);
}
$(function () {
$( ".sublist" ).parent().hover( function () {
setTimeout(doSomething_hover($(this)), 3000);
});
}):
This is weird that setTimeout will not delay anything. but if I change the function call to doSomething_hover (without "()"), the function will delay good. but i can not pass any jquery element to the function, so it still not works, could somebody tell me that how to make doSomething_hover($(this)) work in setTimeout ?
Update 2:
Got the setTimeout work, but it seems not what I want:
What I exactly want is nothing will happen, if the mouse hover on a option less than 0.5sec.
Anyway, here is the code I make setTimeout work:
function doSomething_hover (ele) {
ele.toggleClass("li_hover",300);
ele.find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500);
}
$(function () {
$( ".sublist" ).parent().hover( function () {
var e = $(this);
setTimeout(function () { doSomething_hover(e); }, 1000);
});
}):
Final Update:
I got this work by using clearTimeout when I move the mouse out.
so the code should be:
$( ".sublist" ).parent().mouseover( function () {
var e = $(this);
this.timer = setTimeout(function () { doSomething_hover(e); }, 500);
});
$( ".sublist" ).parent().mouseout ( function () {
if(this.timer){
clearTimeout(this.timer);
}
if($(this).hasClass("li_hover")){
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover");
}
$(this).find(".sublist").hide("slide", {}, 500);
});
This is the part in the $(document).ready(). Other code will be same as above.
真. Final Update:
So, mouseover and mouseout will lead to a bug sometime, since when I move the mouse to the sublist, the parents' mouseover event will be fire, and hide the sublist.
Problem could be solved by using hover function:
$( ".sublist" ).parent().hover(
function () {
var e = $(this);
this.timer = setTimeout(function () { doSomething_hover(e); }, 500);
},
function () {
if(this.timer){
clearTimeout(this.timer);
}
$(this).find(".sublist").hide("slide", {}, 500);
if($(this).hasClass("li_hover")){
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover",300);
}
}
);
Thanks all

Try this please:
Code
setInterval(doSomthing_hover, 1000);
function doSomthing_hover() {
$(".sublist").parent().hover(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover", 300); //use to change the background color
$(this).find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500); //sub list show / hide
});
}​
SetTime vs setInterval
At a fundamental level it's important to understand how JavaScript timers work. Often times they behave unintuitively because of the single thread which they are in. Let's start by examining the three functions to which we have access that can construct and manipulate timers.
var id = setTimeout(fn, delay); - Initiates a single timer which will call the specified function after the delay. The function returns a unique ID with which the timer can be canceled at a later time.
var id = setInterval(fn, delay); - Similar to setTimeout but continually calls the function (with a delay every time) until it is canceled.
clearInterval(id);, clearTimeout(id); - Accepts a timer ID (returned by either of the aforementioned functions) and stops the timer callback from occurring.
In order to understand how the timers work internally there's one important concept that needs to be explored: timer delay is not guaranteed. Since all JavaScript in a browser executes on a single thread asynchronous events (such as mouse clicks and timers) are only run when there's been an opening in the execution.

timeout = setTimeout('timeout_trigger()', 3000);
clearTimeout(timeout);
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
//hide a div after 3 seconds
setTimeout( "jQuery('#div').hide();",3000 );
});
refer link
function hover () {
$( ".sublist" ).parent().hover( function () {
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover",300); //use to change the background color
$(this).find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500); //sub list show / hide
});
}
setTimeout( hover,3000 );
....

You could use .setTimeout
$(".sublist").parent().hover(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("li_hover", 300); //use to change the background color
$(this).find(".sublist").toggle("slide", {}, 500); //sub list show / hide
}, 1000);
});​

delay() or timeout with stop()?

$('.file a').live('mouseenter', function() {
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeIn('fast');
}).live('mouseleave', function() {
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeOut('fast');
});
I want the mouseenter function to have a stop() and a delay of 1 second.
So, if I hover over #download the fadeIn should start after a 1 second delay. If I mouse out meanwhile the fadeIn shouldn't start. Get me?
I don't really know how to do that, any ideas?

You need to use setTimeout() in this case because of how .delay() works (and your inability to cancel it).
$('.file a').live('mouseenter', function() {
$.data(this, 'timer', setTimeout(function() {
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeIn('fast');
}, 1000));
}).live('mouseleave', function() {
clearTimeout($.data(this, 'timer'));
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeOut('fast');
});
You can give it a try here.
If you use .delay() it'll dequeue the next animation for the element, regardless of if you cleared that queue earlier. So you need a timeout that you can cancel, which the above does by manually calling setTimeout() and storing the result with $.data() so you can clear it later, via clearTimeout().

I was looking for the answer to a similar question, and I found that .animate() could also be used to handle this, and it obeys .stop()
It would look something like this:
$('.file a').live('mouseenter', function() {
$('#download')
.stop(true, true)
.animate({opacity:0}, 1000); // one second delay
.animate({opacity:1}, 'fast', 'swing');
}).live('mouseleave', function() {
$('#download')
.stop(true, true)
.animate({opacity:0}, 'slow', 'swing');
});

Use a setTimeout function
$('.file a').live('mouseenter', function() {
setTimeout(function(){
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeIn('fast');
}, 1000);
}).live('mouseleave', function() {
$('#download').stop(true, true).fadeOut('fast');
});
setTimeout will execute the code inside the function after the specified miliseconds (in this case 1000).

you can use this on jquery without using delay event .
$('.file a').hover(function() {
time = setTimeout(function() {
$('#download').fadeIn();
},1000);
},function(){
clearTimeout(time);
});
1000 is your time that after it $('#download') will fade in .
