i want to use a variable in #id
e.g.

if (wixWindow.formFactor === "Mobile"){
  let total = 6;
  for (let i = 1; i < total; i++){
    total = i;
    $w("#group +{total}+ ").show();
    if (i === 6 ){
      i = 1;
  }}}

*** And if someone can help me understand how set time to loop !

Hi,
You need to use backticks: **${variableName}** . I’ve corrected the code for you:

if (wixWindow.formFactor === "Mobile"){ 
   let total = 6; 
   for (let i = 1; i < total; i++){     
      total = i; 
      $w(`#group${total}`).show();
      if (i === 6 ){    
          i = 1; 
      }
   }
}

As for your second query, I’m not sure that I fully understand what you were referring. Can you please clarify what is the scenario?

Thanks,
Tal.

i meant time to do a loop, for example every 4 second it would loop once.


 if (wixWindow.formFactor === "Mobile") {
  let total = 6;
  for (let i = 1; i < total; i++) {
   total = i;
   $w(`#group${total}`).show();
   if (i === 6) {
    i = 1;
   }
  },4000
 }

Hi Daniel,
You can use the setTimeOut function for that purpose.

Best,

Thanks ! i got it, theres the code :

if (wixWindow.formFactor === "Mobile"){
	var i = 2;
	function myLoop () {
   		setTimeout(function () {
   			$w("#group1").hide();
			$w("#group2").hide();
			$w("#group3").hide();
			$w("#group4").hide();
			$w("#group5").hide();
			$w("#group6").hide();
			$w("#group7").hide();
			if (i === 8){
				i = 2; 
			}
      			$w(`#group${i}`).show();
			    	i++;
   		   		if (i <= 8) {
         				myLoop();
  		    		}
 		  	}, 3000);
		}
	myLoop(); 
    }
