How do i make text slowly appear on a page?

Use a 300 baud modem?

Seriously, any sort of timed event generally requries writing some
JavaScript code to set up a timer. When the timer fires, it runs a second
piece of JavaScript code that displays or unhides the additional content you
want.

That's as precise as I can be without knowing the exact type of effect you
want.

(BTW, in the future, please type your question in the body of the message
and not in the title. Many newsreaders only display the first thirty or forty
characters of the title, and that makes your question very hard to read.)

Furthermore, something like this on your page will quickly show you how fast
the different browser's engines run. Your "slow" appearance may be just
right on one browser, and way too slow on another.
