[jQuery] Animate Query

[jQuery] Animate Query


Hey All,
Im kind of new to all this jQuery stuff ... Im building a site at the
moment and i want to put some jQuery in, but im not sure how to go
about it.
What i want to do is wait about 2 or 3 seconds after the page has
loaded, fade in some text, wait another 2 or 3 seconds, then have it
scroll to the left until its off screen, then once thats done, loop it
so that it fades in again etc etc
This is how i have formatted the text that needs to have the jQuery
added to:
<span class="artistname">Armin Van Buuren Armin Van Buuren Armin Van
Buuren</span>
and so far this is what i have in the way of jQuery:
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $.fn.wait = function(time, type) {
            time = time || 1000;
            type = type || "fx";
            return this.queue(type, function() {
                var self = this;
                setTimeout(function() {
                    $(self).dequeue();
                }, time);
            });
        };
        function runIt() {
            $(".artistname").wait()
                .animate({left:'+=200'},2000)
                .wait()
                .animate({left:'-=200'},1500,runIt);
        }
        runIt();
    });
I just cant seem to get it to work and i would really appreciate some
help in getting this to work.
Pleaseeeeeee :)
Cheers,
    </script>
