You can't rely on setTimeout. Scriptaculous provides a queue
functionality [1] for things like that:
function sequence() {
var options = { queue: 'end' };
$('slideshow5').appear(options);
$('slideshow5').puff(options);
$('slideshow6').appear(options);
}
// call sequence in 0.6 seconds
sequence.delay(0.6);
or using anonymous function:
(function(){
var options = { queue: 'end' };
$('slideshow5').appear(options);
$('slideshow5').puff(options);
$('slideshow6').appear(options);
}).delay(0.6)
