• 3 Hi, your question has been downvoted a bit, this is probably because you've not explained what you've already tried to solve the problem. Even if you've no idea what code to write, have you tried Googling to find useful information? If so, including that into your question will make it a better question. The right queries make all the difference, and I see that originally you asked about a "certain time interval", which would normally be called a "time delay" – chrisbunney Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 10:05

use Timeout http://www.w3schools./jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp

var baslik = document.title;
postMsg = function(txt) {
   document.title = txt + baslik;
}

$(document).ready(function(){
  setTimeout("postMsg('(Wele)')",3000);
  setTimeout("postMsg('(What can i do for you ?)')",6000);
  setTimeout("postMsg('(Thank u for viewing to me)')",9000);
});

you can use the setTimeout method

$(document).ready(function(){

     setTimeout(function(){

        var baslik = document.title;    
         document.title = '(Wele)' + baslik; // After 3 seconds 
         document.title = '(What can i do for you ?)' + baslik; // After 3 seconds 
         document.title = '(Thank u for viewing to me)' + baslik; // After 3 seconds 
         //document.title = baslik;       

    },3000);
});

Something like this will do the trick,

 <script type="text/javascript">

var baslik = document.title;
var weleMessages = ['(Wele)',
                '(What can i do for you ?)',
                '(Thank u for viewing to me)' ];
var timer; 
var msgPt = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
     timer = setInterval(function () {
         if (msgPt == weleMessages.length) {
            clearInterval(timer);
            document.title = baslik;
            return;
         }
         document.title = weleMessages[msgPt++];
     }, 3000);             
});


</script>
