function main() {
   var text = $('body').text();
   alert(text);
}

setTimeout(function(){main();}, 2000);

I want everything in the body alerted after 2 seconds, but I can't seem to get it to work, I'd appreciate if somebody could help, thanks!

Seems to work if I paste the code into my console in Chrome..can you be more precise as what is not working? – Oli Dec 05 '15 at 15:19

That would work (assuming you're using jQuery on purpose). The setTimeout can be simpler: `setTimeout(main, 2000);` But it works as-is as well. – T.J. Crowder Dec 05 '15 at 15:19
Be aware you're using jQuery in `$('body')` – Oli Dec 05 '15 at 15:19
So what happens? Wait for the body to load incase 2000ms is not long enough? - `$(function() { setTimeout(function(){main();}, 2000); });` – Alex K. Dec 05 '15 at 15:20
Works fine here: http://jsbin.com/zuqije/1/edit?html,js,output – Quentin Dec 05 '15 at 15:20
I'm using this on TamperMonkey, and it doesn't seem to work. – Cian Flint Dec 05 '15 at 15:23
use : alert($('body').html()) inside your function. – Anupam Singh Dec 05 '15 at 15:24
Please add more relevant code if you have, e.g. how you set your contents to begin with. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Dec 05 '15 at 15:29
