Show and hide divs at a specific time interval using jQuery

Working Example here - add /edit to the URL to play with the code

You just need to use JavaScript setInterval function

$('html').addClass('js');

$(function() {

  var timer = setInterval(showDiv, 5000);

  var counter = 0;

  function showDiv() {
    if (counter == 0) {
      counter++;
      return;
    }

    $('div', '#container')
      .stop()
      .hide()
      .filter(function() {
        return this.id.match('div' + counter);
      })
      .show('fast');
    counter == 3 ? counter = 0 : counter++;

  }

});

  <h2>Example of using setInterval to trigger display of Div</h2>
  <p>The first div will display after 10 seconds...</p>
  <div id='container'>
    <div id='div1' class='display' style="background-color: red;">
      div1
    </div>
    <div id='div2' class='display' style="background-color: green;">
      div2
    </div>
    <div id='div3' class='display' style="background-color: blue;">
      div3
    </div>
    <div>
</body>

</html>

EDIT:

In response to your comment about the container div, just modify this

$('div','#container')

to this

$('#div1, #div2, #div3')

here is a jQuery plugin I came up with:

$.fn.cycle = function(timeout){
    var $all_elem = $(this)

    show_cycle_elem = function(index){
        if(index == $all_elem.length) return; //you can make it start-over, if you want
        $all_elem.hide().eq(index).fadeIn()
        setTimeout(function(){show_cycle_elem(++index)}, timeout);
    }
    show_cycle_elem(0);
}

You need to have a common classname for all the divs you wan to cycle, use it like this:

$("div.cycleme").cycle(5000)

Loop through divs every 10 seconds. 

$(function () {

    var counter = 0,
        divs = $('#div1, #div2, #div3');

    function showDiv () {
        divs.hide() // hide all divs
            .filter(function (index) { return index == counter % 3; }) // figure out correct div to show
            .show('fast'); // and show it

        counter++;
    }; // function to loop through divs and show correct div

    showDiv(); // show first div    

    setInterval(function () {
        showDiv(); // show next div
    }, 10 * 1000); // do this every 10 seconds    

});
