Help: Simple Timed Text Replace

[Monty]

Hi, I have the following in my HTML document...

<span id='prompt'>File Saved</span>

All I want to do is replace the above "File Saved" text on my page with
"Upload File" after about 5 seconds after the page loads again.

Does anyone have simple code that can do this, or know of a place that has
this code? I've scoured a bunch of sites, but, because this is probably a
simple task, couldn't find any scripts that do exactly this.

Thanks!!

Monty

Search the archives for setTimeout and read the FAQ (down until Monday

The FAQ isn't there. Monday's too late anyway.

Anyone else have any suggestions, please?

Search the c.l.j archives at groups.google.com

You can find the FAQ there as well, posted in plain text.

Any reasonable News service will still have the News version of the FAQ
which was posted last Friday; indeed should have all articles from at
least a week or two back.

Perhaps some of those whose sigs refer to the newsgroup FAQ and are not
already full might add a reference to the FAQ in News? It requires only
one line; see below.

The code could be obtained by simplifying the start of my js-date2.htm;
to which I have added an example using DynWrite from the newsgroup FAQ.
