Check the implementation of the "sleep" function in javascript.

function sleep(timeout) { 
var loop = true; 
var current = new Date(); 
var now; 
var cTimestamp = current.getTime(); 

while(loop) { 
now = new Date(); 
nTimestamp = now.getTime(); 

if(nTimestamp - cTimestamp > timeout) { 
loop = false; 
} 
} 

}

the only possible solution seems to be currently going through the narrative javascript compiler that will compile a code that will allow us to make pauses in it.

function sleep (millis) (
var notify = new EventNotifier ();
setTimeout (notifier, millis);
notified. wait -> ();
)

the Truth is the pause in javascript is not recommended beyond the fact that it is not really feasible. I just wrote this article because I needed to test the function I created evalglobal under the engine KHTML (Konquero, Safari ..). I thought going through setTimeout departure, which was a mistake. try this on any engine, the result is impressive:

test = undefined; 
setTimeout ( "var test = function () (alert (" test is a function ");) ', 10); 
var Start = (new Date ()). GetTime (); 
while (typeof test! = 'function') ( 
if (((new Date ()). GetTime () - start)> 6000) ( 
alert ( 'test definitely undefined'); 
break; 
) 
) 
if (typeof test == 'function') test ();

The execution priority is given to the current scope which leaves the function sent to setTimeout.
