jquery slide and timing

hey there, i have a div that expands when the page is loaded, now i need it to collapse after 30 seconds, does anybody have an idea about how to do it in query?

$(function(){
 $("#banner").slideDown(); 
 });

From stackoverflow

• To do this you'll need to use setTimeout

  $(function(){
          //something
          setTimeout("slidedown()",30000);
  }
  
  function slidedown(){
     $("#banner").slideDown()
  }
  

• $(function(){
      $("#banner").slideDown(function() {
          setTimeout(function() {
              $("#banner").slideUp();
          }, 30000);
      });
  });
  

  Andy : i forgot to say thank you! sorry i was on a hurry, now that i see the function it was kind of obvious isn´t it?? xD it works really nice. thanks a lot for the help!

• There are also plugins for jQuery that will pause/delay execution.
