Delay show/hide layer for 2 seconds

[Diggum1]

How can I delay the firing of this function by 2 seconds? The following is not working.


function showlayer(whichLayer) {

document.getElementById(whichLayer).style.display = 'block';
setTimeout("showlayer()",2000);
}


Thanks
Rick

you will need to do it from wherever you're calling the function.

for example:

<input type="button" onclick="setTimeout('showlayer(\'theLayerId\')', 2000);" value="hi" />
