Delaying click event

Question

I\'m wondering whether there\'s a simple way to delay the click event from being processed for a specified period of time. For example we could have

$(\'#someEle         


        

Answer 1

window.setTimeout will execute any given function after a specified delay.

You'd call it like this:

$('yourElement').click(function (event) {
    setTimeout(function () { console.log('hi'); }, 1000);
});

But I have to wonder why you need to do this. What's the problem you're trying to solve? Usually delaying stuff doesn't really solve anything.
