Hi
I am trying to create a delay in my script that stops curtains from opening for about 2 seconds when the Christmas ball is pressed. This is to allow enough time to load content into an iframe that are hidden behind the curtains.
The script is based on Sam Dunn’s tutorial ‘Animate Curtains Opening with jQuery’ ( [url]http://buildinternet.com/2009/07/animate-curtains-opening-with-jquery/
Here is Sam’s Script:
