The Jquery noty plugin timeout is not working when fed with a list of messages. I get the list of messages from servlet and call noty like this.
<script>
    function callNotification()
    {
        <c:foreach var = "message" items = "${sessionScope.notification}">
             notify('${message}');
        </c:foreach>
    }
    function notify(message)
    {
       noty({
                "text": message,
                "theme": noty_theme_facebook",
                "layout": topRight,
                "information","animateOpen":{"height":"toggle"},
                "information","animateOpen":{"height":"toggle"},
                "speed":500,
                "timeout":5000,
                "closeButton":true,
                "closeOnSelfClick":true,
                "closeOnSelfOver":false,
                "modal":false
          })
    </script>
Ideally this should loop over the messages and print them with a timeout of 5000ms. But this prints all of the messages at once. I further tried to use the javascript native setTimeout function and replaced my callNotification with this.
 function callNotification()
    {
        <c:foreach var = "message" items = "${sessionScope.notification}">
         (function(message){ 
            setTimeout(function(){notify('${message}');},5000)
         }('${message}')
        }}
        </c:foreach>
    }
But this also proved ineffective. Strangely the timeout seems to work fine when I replace "layout":center in notify method. Where am I going wrong. I want the messages to be displayed with the time out of 5 seconds after which the first message gets automatically erased and the next shows up.
