Sleep Function for JavaScript like PHP
I need to implement a general sleep function replacement for javascript. It should be possible to call it multiple times on a page. I googled and found some code on ozzu forums, which didnt work for me. I get alert messages immediately without waiting 2 or 5 seconds. I tried it (with MSIE+FF) as following :
<script language="javascript">
function sleep(delay)
{
var start = new Date().getTime();
while (new Date().getTime() < start + delay);
}
sleep(2);
alert("first");
sleep(5);
alert("second");
</script>
Is there an easy way to write a general sleep function for javascript?
