Menu
I want to use this script for a floating window, but I want it to appear about 10 seconds after the page is loaded. I know it can be done with the setTimeout function, but I don’t have a clue of the proper place it should go to work. I tried a bunch of different things but it doesn’t work when I hack into the code (I’m a script noobie).
As a bonus, I would love to be able to reduce the opacity of the window to around 90%, but that would just be icing on the cake!
Here is the code:
[CODE]<style type=”text/css”>
#topbar{
position:absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: lightyellow;
width: 620px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 10;
}
</style>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
