Mootools Multibox - delay opening

This is my first time here. Hello!

So I have configured a mootools multibox to open when the page has loaded. Like so:

<script type='text/javascript'>
	var box11 ={};
	window.addEvent('domready', function()
	{
		box11 = new MultiBox('mb', {descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', useOverlay: true, openFromLink: false});		
		box11.open($('mb11'))
	});						 
</script>

Code (markup):

Now I am trying with all my might to delay the box from opening until about 8 seconds have passed.

There is a [waitDuration] option but this doesn't delay the appearance of the box. Instead it delays the box's content from appearing. This is obviously not my solution.

Can anyone help me figure out a way to delay the box from opening about 8 seconds?

Many thanks.

 

you could place your code inside of a function and call it using:

setTimeout ( expression, timeout );

 

The solution did have something to do with setTimeout, using it to delay the opening. So the page loads, 15 seconds pass, the multibox appears.

<script type="text/javascript">
     var box = {};
     window.addEvent('domready', function(){
        box = new MultiBox('mb', {showNumbers: false, showControls: true, descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', useOverlay: true});
	window.setTimeout(function(){box.open($('mb'))},'15000');			
     });
</script>

Thanks for the assist.

 

just change 15000 to 8000. milliseconds = seconds * 1000

<script type="text/javascript">
     var box = {};
     window.addEvent('domready', function(){
        box = new MultiBox('mb', {showNumbers: false, showControls: true, descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', useOverlay: true});
	window.setTimeout(function(){box.open($('mb'))},'8000');			
     });
</script>
