The MM_showHideLayers is a function packaged with Dreamweaver (MM = Macromedia, who originated Dreamweaver).

Lots of places use it, but that is the origin of most functions beginning with MM_

The solution is a combination of the two, You will still need MM_showHideLayers() function which shows layer 1 when you clock the image, but as mentioned you need to move the setTimeout() so that it is is out side of the "root" code that executes on load.

Additionally, while you can execute multuple items within an onclick (and others), you must keep them all within one set of quotes.

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function showIt() {
        document.getElementById("show_1").style.visibility = "visible";
    }

    function waitShow() {
       setTimeout("showIt()", 2000);
   }
</script>

....

<a href="#" onclick="MM_showHideLayers('flyer1', '','show'); waitShow();">image</a>

thanks for the suggestion.

I don't see where the MM_showHideLayers() function came from. Try changing the HTML to this:

<div id="flyer1">content
<div id="show_1" style="visibility:hidden">content
</div>
</div>

<div id="image">
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="setTimeout("showIt()", 2000)">image</a>
</div>

And then remove the setTimeout("showIt()", 2000); statement from the Javascript.
