Text / answer selection disappears / reappears in qualtrics

I am working on an experiment about distractions. As part of the experiment, I need a question that appears on the screen for two seconds, disappears for two seconds, and then reappears. Here is my snapshot when programming this in javascript.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{

    function togglequestion() { 
        if(this.getQuestionDisplayed()) {
             this.questionContainer.style.display = 'none';
        } else {
             this.questionContainer.style.display = 'block';
        }
     };

    var a1 = setTimeout(togglequestion, 2000);
    var a2 = setTimeout(togglequestion, 4000);

});

I think the problem is how I declare my function or if statement. I am not very good at javascript, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

The second argument to setTimeoutfunction is the duration in milliseconds . Currently, functions are called twice very quickly.

var a1 = setTimeout(togglequestion, 2000);
var a2 = setTimeout(togglequestion, 4000);
