<script>
    var count = 0;

function function1(){
    stop_autoslide()
    count++;
}

function function2(){
     start_autoslide();
     count = 0;
}

function slideShowClicks(){
     if(count ==0){
         function1();
     }else{
         function2();
     }
}
</script>

You setInterval function.

setInterval(function_name, time_in_milli_sec);

var t = setTimeout(function2, 2000);

This will call function2 after 2s (2000ms).

You can then use t to cancel the timeout, etc.

Edit:

function function2(){
     start_autoslide();
     var t = setTimeout(function2, 2000);
}

This way, function2() will get executed every 2 seconds after you call it from slideShowClicks() the first time.

So replace `var count = 0; `with that? – soniccool Nov 24 '11 at 05:44
Not quite sure what you mean. I'll edit my answer to explain what happens there. – K Mehta Nov 24 '11 at 05:46
If you want to call function2() after 2 seconds from where you have `var count = 0`, then yes :) – K Mehta Nov 24 '11 at 05:48

add to your stop_autoslide() function

  var timeout=setTimeout("start_autoslide()",3000);

replace 3000 it 3 sec

with amount of sec you want
