delay is used to delay animations in a queue  not halt execution   Instead of using a while loop  you need to recursively call a method that performs the check every second using setTimeout   var check   function        if condition              run when condition is met           else           setTimeout check  1000      check again in a second          check

ES6 setTimeout  setTimeout      gt      console log  we waited 204586560000 ms to run this code  oh boy wowwoowee        204586560000     Edit  204586560000 ms is the approximate time between the original question and this answer    assuming I calculated correctly

If you are using ES6 features and you re in an async function  you can effectively halt the code execution for a certain time with this function   const delay   millis   gt  new Promise  resolve  reject    gt      setTimeout     gt  resolve    millis        This is how you use it   await delay 5000     It will stall for the requested amount of milliseconds  but only if you re in an async function  Example below   const myFunction   async function          first code block        await delay 5000         some more code  executed 5 seconds after the first code block finishes

Javascript is an asynchronous programming language so you can t stop the execution for a of time  the only way you can  pseudo stop an execution is using setTimeout   that is not a delay but a  delayed function callback

jQuery s delay function is meant to be used with effects and effect queues  see the delay docs and the example therein       foo   slideUp 300  delay 800  fadeIn 400     If you want to observe a variable for changes  you could do something like   function         var observerInterval   setInterval function             if     check for changes here                  clearInterval observerInterval                 do something here                  1000

delay   doesn t halt the flow of code then re-run it  There s no practical way to do that in JavaScript  Everything has to be done with functions which take callbacks such as setTimeout which others have mentioned   The purpose of jQuery s delay   is to make an animation queue wait before executing  So for example   element  delay 3000  fadeIn 250   will make the element fade in after 3 seconds

JavaScript setTimeout is a very good solution   function funcx              your code here       break out here if needed    setTimeout funcx  3000         funcx      The delay function in jQuery is mostly used for delaying animations in a jQuery animation queue
