You know how there is a "" and then there is a '', well what comes after that? For example, what do I put around "dv"?
<a onClick="setTimeout(5000,'this.innerText=dv')">fggfg</a>

I thought in setTimeout you do the code followed by the milliseconds :
<a onClick="setTimeout(5000,'this.innerText=dv')">fggfg</a>

Also I don't know about the "" and the'' but I think you do something like /"

The format for the setTimeout should be:
setTimeout("function",milliseconds)

So you could try this:
setTimeout("this.innerText='dv'",5000)

innerText? I thought it was innerHTML?

[Marek Bereza]

setTimeout("this.innerText='dv'",5000)

Yeah thats what I meant.

Hi all,

if 'dv' is a variable, it should be:

setTimeout("this.innerText=" + dv,5000)

otherwise, the text will read 'dv' and not what dv stands for (contains).

dhtmlgod: there is innerText, innerHTML, outerText, outerHTML.

Not forgetting: object.insertAdjacentText, object.insertAdjacentHTML and object.createTextNode()
