    1. You can use setTimeout() javascript function.
    2. You will have to use proper encoding for supporting tamil script. UTF-8 enables you to display ANY character from the UNICODE standard. For doing so you will have to configure Apache to "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8"

    NOTE: Users will have to install Tamil fonts in order to see them. I'm running a Debian linux, I'm able to see fonts from different script systems but not Tamil. It seem I would have to add a new package.

    Setting up your web server to the correct character set and encoding is first step. That will allow you to create an HTML including Tamil characters from unicode standard.

    Finally, the user connecting to your web site needs Tamil fonts installed in his operating system. Of course, people from India regions where Tamil script is used will have those fonts already installed. People from other countries will have to add those fonts in order to see them. In the end it's no big deal.

    Note that Font you're going to use must be available in the client computer my friend :)
    Look at my location it will be displayed correctly if the correct font is available!
    Else boxes will appear :)
