During jumping from one element to the next one I need to get user input from the console. 1) If not input after 5 seconds I have to jump to the next element. 2)If there is an input within 5 seconds I go for processing the input and then jump to the next element. I don't know how to implement the code for question 1. I wonder if anyone there has a good idea. Thanks, Li -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
