The Jquery noty plugin timeout is not working when fed with a list of messages. I get the list of messages from servlet and call noty like this.
<script>
function callNotification()
{
<c:foreach var = "message" items = "${sessionScope.notification}">
notify('${message}');
</c:foreach>
}
function notify(message)
{
noty({
"text": message,
"theme": noty_theme_facebook",
"layout": topRight,
"information","animateOpen":{"height":"toggle"},
"information","animateOpen":{"height":"toggle"},
"speed":500,
"timeout":5000,
"closeButton":true,
"closeOnSelfClick":true,
"closeOnSelfOver":false,
"modal":false
})
</script>
Ideally this should loop over the messages and print them with a timeout of 5000ms. But this prints all of the messages at once. I further tried to use the javascript native setTimeout function and replaced my callNotification with this.
function callNotification()
{
<c:foreach var = "message" items = "${sessionScope.notification}">
(function(message){
setTimeout(function(){notify('${message}');},5000)
}('${message}')
}}
</c:foreach>
}
But this also proved ineffective. Strangely the timeout seems to work fine when I replace "layout":center
in notify method. Where am I going wrong. I want the messages to be displayed with the time out of 5 seconds after which the first message gets automatically erased and the next shows up.
