Answer 1

you could use setTimeout function you must refactor your code as something like this

    //2 seconds wait before calling doJob
    $(".sample").live('click',function(){ setTimeout(doJob, 2000);});

    function doJob(){
        var id=$(this).attr("id");
        //other statements ...
    }
