• javascript
• jquery
• scroll
• delay
• scrolltop

• 6 setTimeout is your fiend. – Ram Commented Dec 24, 2014 at 13:36
• use setTimeout rather than delay – akaBase Commented Dec 24, 2014 at 13:36
• 1 Remember that .delay() can only be used for queued effects in jQuery. It is not intended as a replacement for setTimeout(). – Terry Commented Dec 24, 2014 at 13:40

You can do it using the setTimeout() function after the document.ready was triggered:

$(function(){ //wait for document ready

  setTimeout(function(){
    $(document).scrollTop() 
  }, 2000) //execute your function after 2 seconds.

});

The first step is to fire an event handler when the document is loaded. That event is the document ready event.

The second step is to create a timeout that will execute the required function after a specified delay.

var scrollTimeout = null;
var jDocument = $(document);
jDocument.ready(function () { //An event fired when the document finishes loading.
    scrollTimeout = setTimeout(function () { //A function the will be executed after 2000ms
        jDocument.scrollTop(); //your code goes here.
    }, 2000);
});
