Thanks mark,

can you tell me is it possible to do the following or is my syntax incorrect again ?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Timer Function Example</TITLE>

<script langauge="JavaScript">

<!-- hide me

var string1 = Hello"
var string2 = "World"

function alert1()

{
the_timeout = setTimeout("document.writeln(string1)", 1000); ("document.writeln(string2)", 2000);
}

// show me -->

</script>


</HEAD>


<BODY OnLoad="alert1()">

</BODY>
</HTML>

the document.write() function overwrites what is already there

you can use alert()s though

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Timer Function Example</TITLE>

<script langauge="JavaScript">
<!-- hide me
var string1 = "Hello";
var string2 = "World";

function alert1()
{
setTimeout("alert(string1)", 1000);
setTimeout("alert(string2)", 2000);
}
// show me -->
</script>

</HEAD>
<BODY onload="alert1()">




</BODY>
</HTML>
