how to make a sleep in javascript?
ajax, javascript, jquery
Solution
I Have the Hat has given the right hint. Use the `setTimeout` method to execute your forth line code after 10 seconds:
var chkResult = Validation();
var timeout = window.setTimeout(function() {
document.getElementById('abc').innerHTML = chkResult;
}, 10000);
Storing the timeout ID in a variable can be handy if you want to clear a timeout.
Problem
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 //sleep here for for 10 sec before the next line been read 3 4 document.getElementById('abc').innerHTML = chkResult; ``` For this example, how can I make the javascript sleep/wait in line 2 for 10 sec before it continues to read line 4? I had tried setTimeout('', 10000); but it's seems not working for me still...
