Trial code for understanding what I want to do

<if 5 seconds are not passed since the page is opened>

5 seconds are not passed yet.

<if 5 seconds are passed and 10 seconds are not passed sine the page is opened>

5 seconds are alread passed, but 10 seconds not yet.

<if 10 seconds are passed since the page is opened>

10 seconds are already passed.
</if>

Is it possible?

Thanks in Advance

Alternative:

var timer=1;
var elapsedTime=-1;
function init(){
elapsedTime++;
if (elapsedTime<5){
window.status=elapsedTime+' secs (5 secs has not passed yet)';
//do something
}
else if (elapsedTime<10){
window.status=elapsedTime+' secs (10 secs has not passed yet)';
//do something
}
else {
window.status=elapsedTime+' secs (10 secs has already passed)';
clearTimeout(timer);
timer=0;
//do something
}
if (timer) timer=setTimeout('init()', 1000);
}

window.onload=init;
