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')
