hello all,

i am working on a site using [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us). you can view the page at [http://www.dorisdelay.com/index2.php](http://www.dorisdelay.com/index2.php). the actual navigation source is at [http://www.dorisdelay.com/phpincludes/navigation.php](http://www.dorisdelay.com/phpincludes/navigation.php)

basically, what i am looking for is an onclick function that will delay another onclick function. for example  
\<a href="#" onclick= "Effect.SlideDown(‘jG6kDlo0’); hideAll(); showLayer(‘shows’); stopTime(); return false; "\>shows\</a\>\<br /\>\</div\>after the effect.slide down, how can i make the showlayer function have like a 2 second delay?

argh
