jquery - How do you delay animations with .animate? -

i'm hacking fix jquery slide down jumps.

so far have:

 $div.hide().css({ height : 0 });  $div.show().animate({ height : height }, { duration: 1000 }); 

but want delay showing of teh div 1 second. i've tried .delay(1000) doesnt work.

thanks help.

you can use settimeout

settimeout(function(){   $div.show().animate({ height : height }, { duration: 1000 }); },1000);  // 1 second delay
