how to make text suddenly appear?

by Jarrod

I've seen a lot of video from various gurus where they'll have a sales video, and then at a certain point in the video text (such as buy button) will magically appear.

How do you do this? Is there a wordpress plugin, some script, or what?

    It's usually a simple timer. They have JavaScript on the page which reveals the proper page elements after a certain amount of time. After that amount of time, the elements appear on the page whether you've been watching the video or not.

    You can often pause the video and just leave the page sit there for a half hour, then come back to find the offer details written down instead of on video.

    Another thing that often works is to just close the tab. The exit-pop generally leads to a printed sales page instead of another video. And often a discount, too.

    Yeah, I knew all that, but didn't know the code or how to set it up.

    After another hour of googling, found what I needed.

    <html>

    <head>
    <script>
    window.onload = function(){
    // Change this value to however many seconds you want to delay the text by.
    var theDelay = 5;
    var timer = setTimeout("showText()",theDelay*1000)
    }
    function showText(){
    document.getElementById("delayedText").style.visib ility = "visible";
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="delayedText" style="visibility:hidden">
    This is some delayed text
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

      Expensive but fabulous. Do you know if it will work on any website or just WP?

    Uhm, that is pretty obvious for marketing.
    Well you can use pop domination for that one or you can ask some developer to write a script for your site like Jedi have above.
