Hello,
I want to hide an image 6 seconds after page load
Is that possible. What would be the correct code? This are my best efforts with no luck:

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';
const image6 = $w('image6')

$w.onReady(function () {
    setTimeout(image6.hide, 6000)
});

or

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';
const image6 = $w('image6')

export function image6_viewportEnter(event) {
    setTimeout(image6.hide, 6000) 
}

Hi Philippe

You cannot assign $w(‘#image6’) to a const outside of the $w.onReady() function.

$w(‘#image6’) most likely doesn’t exist at this point. Make the image6 a let and assign it in the onReady or just use $w(‘#image6’) without assigning to to anything :wink:

If you share your page URL one of us in the community will be able to address your problem.

you could use $w(“#image6”).hide and set a “delay” or 6000

In order to add a delay, you should use the javascript setTimeout function. There are a lot of examples on the web how to do so.

For your case

$w.onReady(function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    $w("#image11").show("FadeIn"); 
  }, 1000);
}

Or you could have looked at the hide function within the Wix API Reference itself.
