Hi,
I use the delay function in a HTML5 project and that works fine as long as i use the "Time" setting.
When i want to use the "Variable" option to set the time, nothing happened.
Is that normal or impossible to use the delay in HTML5 that way or am i doing something wrong?

Looking at the code, it appears to be a bug as the variable is exported as a string containing the variable name rather than the variable itself.

You need to contact DW support and let them know.

For now, it is possible to fix it manually, but you would need to edit the code each time you published - if that would help?

Thanks, so it's a problem in Opus?
I send them a mail.

If i want to fix it manually, what code do i have to change?

Assuming you are using a publication, not page variable - to manually change it:

1. Publish your project - in settings should probably enable 'create readable output' unless your code editor has a beautify option.

2. Open the HTML in a code or text editor.

3. Locate the line new DWActionDelay('myTime') - 'myTime' is the name of my variable - use yours.

4. Change the line to new DWActionDelay(_DWPub.myTime * 1000) - again your variable & we multiple because delay uses milliseconds.

5. Save HTML.
