wait() or sleep() function in jquery?

Question

I want to add a class, wait 2 seconds and add another class.

.addClass(\"load\").wait(2sec).addClass(\"done\");

Is there any way?

There is an function, but it's extra: http://docs.jquery.com/Cookbook/wait

This little snippet allows you to wait:

$.fn.wait = function(time, type) {
    time = time || 1000;
    type = type || "fx";
    return this.queue(type, function() {
        var self = this;
        setTimeout(function() {
            $(self).dequeue();
        }, time);
    });
};
