timed disable button

really need some help with timed disable button

[tarairvine]

I have this slideshow and it's working really well but I need to disable the next and previous buttons for 5 seconds after they are clicked. If a user clicks too many times they break the slideshow completely.

Since I have no idea how to do this apart from jQuery and i'm unsure of syntax issues.

setTimeout(function() { ENABLE A HREF #NEXT }, 5000);

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Tara.

If you are using jQuery >= 1.4 you can use the delay() [api.jquery.com] function.
