How Can I Use jQuery to Show and Hide Divs at Set Intervals?

Show and Hide Divs at a Specific Time Interval Using jQuery

By leveraging the jQuery setInterval function, it's possible to display divs at predefined intervals and control their visibility in a sequence. Here's a detailed overview of the steps involved:

Code Implementation:

Begin by defining your HTML structure, creating three divs (div1, div2, div3) and hiding them initially.

<div>
<p>In your JavaScript code, create a function called showDiv() to control the display of divs. Within this function, use the counter variable to iterate through the divs and show them one at a time.</p>
<pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">function showDiv() {...}

Initialize a counter to track the current div and use the jQuery stop() function to cancel any ongoing animations.

var counter = 0;
$('div', '#container').stop().hide();

To display the current div, use jQuery's filter() function to select the appropriate div based on the counter, and then show it using show('fast').

.filter(function() {...}).show('fast');

Increment or reset the counter to ensure the sequence repeats after reaching the last div.

counter == 3 ? counter = 0 : counter++;

Finally, start the timer using setInterval and set the desired time interval (5000 milliseconds in this case).

var timer = setInterval(showDiv, 5000);

This solution offers a flexible and customizable way to show and hide divs at specific time intervals, making it suitable for scenarios where sequential or timed display is required.
