# Setting a menu to close after X amount of time

```
$(document).ready(function(showmenu) {    $('#showmenu').click(function()
{            $('.menu').slideToggle().delay('1000');    });});
```

Where and how would I set a time out to [close](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1687/rubbing-hands-close-up-benefits) the menu (which drops down upon [click](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12423/social-login-magento-2-one-click-to-register-social)) so that after X amount of time, the menu is [hidden](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2303/skip-validating-field-from-hidden-div) again.

5000);    });});
```
