Gradually uncover adjacent cells?

[sois]

Hi,

I have a table with three cells.
I want to have an image cover the contents of the cell for 1 second. Then I want to remove the image and display the contents.

I want the same image to cover the contents of the second cell for 2 seconds.

Same with the last one.

How can I do this?

You need to use an onload event in the body tag that calls a javascript function that uses a timer that hides a div after so many seconds.
