    text
    copied!<p>I want to set time for my submenus to disppear after a certain period using JavaScript. My code is:</p> <pre><code>function buildsubmenus(){ for (var i=0; i&lt;menuids.length; i++){ var ultags=document.getElementById(menuids[i]).getElementsByTagName("ul") for (var t=0; t&lt;ultags.length; t++){ ultags[t].parentNode.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].className="subfolderstyle" if (ultags[t].parentNode.parentNode.id==menuids[i]) //if this is a first level submenu //dynamically position first level submenus to be width of main menu item ultags[t].style.left=ultags[t].parentNode.offsetWidth+"px" else //else if this is a sub level submenu (ul) //position menu to the right of menu item that activated it ultags[t].style.left=ultags[t-1].getElementsByTagName("a")[0].offsetWidth+"px" ultags[t].parentNode.onmouseover=function(){ this.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].style.display="block" if(this.getElementsByTagName("a").length == '1'){ this.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].style.display="none" } } function wait(){ setTimeout('times()', 5000) } ultags[t].parentNode.onmouseout=function times(){ this.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].style.display="none" } } for (var t= ultags.length-1; t&gt;-1; t--){ //loop through all sub menus again, and use "display:none" to hide menus (to prevent possible page scrollbars ultags[t].style.visibility="visible" ultags[t].style.display="none" } } } </code></pre> <p>and my function that I want to display after a certain time is <code>times()</code>, but whenever I do <code>onmouse</code> it calls it directly and it doesn't wait for the time to count.</p>
