How to wait for a period of time after a function run

rated 0 times [ 77] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 95365 / 13 Years ago, tue, november 15, 2011, 12:00:00

If I have a function which I would like my js code to run it immediately but after the run, wait for 2 seconds. How to achieve this logic?

(Note: It is just the inverse logic compare with setTimeout(), since setTimeout() first wait a certain amount of time then execute the function.)

Just put your code inside an anonymous function passed to setTimeout.

e.g.

functionToRunFirst();

setTimeout(function() {

    // rest of code here

}, 2000);
