Problem with setTimeout

Hi, i need some help with a script i’m trying to make…
I have a php code that gets information from a database, this code is inside a table so the information appears in one cell in particular.

I’m trying to make that cell appear with a delay and i was thinking in using a setTimeout funtion… the thing is that i have no idea on how to get the code done fot that particular cell…
I have this:
<tr id=“armonicos”>
<td width=“25%” valign=“top”><table width=“100%” border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0” class=“armonicos”>
<caption align=“top”>
Predominantes
</caption>
<tr>
<td>
<ul>

HERE GOES MY PHP CODE

</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table></td>

The information inside <ul> </ul> is what I need to delay… can anyone help me?

Thanks very much,

Miguel
