how to make a sleep in javascript?

Question

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 /         


        

Answer 1

The delay won't happen until JavaScript has relinquished control back to the browser, so your line 4 will execute before the setTimeout starts.

You should be making everything happen based on events.

Answer 2

but this way, your line line will execute BEFORE line 4

Answer 3

setTimeout starts a separate execution "thread" within the JavaScript interpreter. You need to pass it a function and design your scripts in such a way that the function the setTimeout runs will continue where the calling function left off--thereby simulating a sleep.
