Hi

I am creating an animation based on Sam Dunn's tutorial 'Animate Curtains Opening with jQuery'

( http://buildinternet.com/2009/07/ani...g-with-jquery/ ).

What i need to do is create a 2 second delay in the curtains opening in order to give enough time for an iframe, thats behind the curtains, to load it's content.

Here is Sam's script :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {

$curtainopen = false;

$(".rope").click(function(){
$(this).blur();
if ($curtainopen == false){
$(this).stop().animate({top: '0px' }, {queue:false, duration:350, easing:'easeOutBounce'});
$(".leftcurtain").stop().animate({width:'60px'}, 2000 );
$(".rightcurtain").stop().animate({width:'60px'},2000 );
$curtainopen = true;
}else{
$(this).stop().animate({top: '-40px' }, {queue:false, duration:350, easing:'easeOutBounce'});
$(".leftcurtain").stop().animate({width:'50%'}, 2000 );
$(".rightcurtain").stop().animate({width:'51%'}, 2000 );
$curtainopen = false;
}
return false;
});

});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
text-align: center;
background: #4f3722 url('images/darkcurtain.jpg') repeat-x;
}
img{
border: none;
}
.leftcurtain{
width: 50%;
height: 495px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
}
.rightcurtain{
width: 51%;
height: 495px;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
}
.rightcurtain img, .leftcurtain img{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.logo{
margin: 0px auto;
margin-top: 150px;
}
.rope{
position: absolute;
top: -40px;
left: 70%;
z-index: 4;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="leftcurtain"><img src="images/frontcurtain.jpg"/></div>
<div class="rightcurtain"><img src="images/frontcurtain.jpg"/></div>
<img class="logo" src="images/buildinter.png"/>
<a class="rope" href="#">
<img src="images/rope.png"/>
</a>
</body>
</html>

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Jet.
