What is the use of delay() method in jQuery ?
In this article, we will see how to use the delay() method and why to use it in jQuery. The delay() method is used to set a timer to delay the execution of the next item in the queue.
Syntax:
$(selector).delay(para1, para2);
In the below example, first, we create a div of size 250px X 200px and set its display property to none. Also, created a button that will call the delay() method. When the user clicks on the button, the delay() method and fadeIn() method are called. The delay() method takes a 2000ms value which means the div will display after 2000ms.
Example: In this example, we are using the delay() method.
