JS setTimeout() alternative

Question

Like i explain here , i can\'t use window.setTimeout() anymore and any window classical functions like clearInterval etc ...); but i need calling a JS block code as an async one

Answer 1

Try using jQuery version 3.0 .animate(), which now uses requestAnimationFrame

  // Creates a jQ object where elem set to index of [0]
  // a plain object with value of 0 `{to:0}`
  // call .animate() chained to the jQ object
  // Animates `{to:0}` value from 0 - 1
  // $({to:0}).animate({to:1}

var duration = 5000;
$({to:0}).animate({to:1}, duration, function() {
  // do stuff after `duration` elapsed
  $("#messageTimer").html("Happy New Year ! (working version)")
})
