Auto press the spacebar key after every 5 seconds

Question

I am using the impress.js and when ever the user presses the space bar, the script moves text around on the screen. Is there a way to have the spacebar be pressed every 5 seconds? Or is there a way to have the impress.js auto move onto the next slide ofter 5 seconds?

can you add a like to the page where you found this `impress.js`? — Bazzz, Mar 12 '12 at 13:23

The impress.js that you use has a next() function that is called upon pressing (amongst others) the spacebar key. Possibly you could add a little javascript to call the impress.next() function every 5 seconds. Have a look at this:

setInterval ('impress.next()', 5000);  // 5000 milliseconds is 5 seconds

Here is a little explanation about the setInterval() function: setInterval()

Auto press the spacebar key after every 5 seconds
