rated 0 times [ 6] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 26272 / 15 Years ago, wed, june 24, 2009, 12:00:00

Does anyone know how can I make a sleep in javascript before next line been read by the system?

example:

    1 var chkResult = Validation();

    2 //sleep here for for 10 sec before the next line been read    

    3   

    4 document.getElementById('abc').innerHTML = chkResult;

For this example, how can I make the javascript sleep/wait in line 2 for 10 sec before it continues to read line 4? I had tried setTimeout('', 10000); but it's seems not working for me still...

I Have the Hat has given the right hint. Use the setTimeout method to execute your forth line code after 10 seconds:

var chkResult = Validation();

var timeout = window.setTimeout(function() {

    document.getElementById('abc').innerHTML = chkResult;

}, 10000);

Storing the timeout ID in a variable can be handy if you want to clear a timeout.
