delay   will not do the job  The problem with delay   is it s part of the animation system  and only applies to animation queues  What if you want to wait before executing something outside of animation   Use this  window setTimeout function                        do whatever you want to do                           600    What happens   In this scenario it waits 600 miliseconds before executing the code specified within the curly braces  This helped me a great deal once I figured it out and hope it will help you as well  IMPORTANT NOTICE   window setTimeout  happens asynchronously  Keep that in mind when writing your code

I found a function called sleep function on the internet and don t know who made it  Here it is  function sleep milliseconds      var start   new Date   getTime      for  var i   0  i  lt  1e7  i          if   new Date   getTime   - start   gt  milliseconds         break               sleep 2000

setTimeout will execute some code after a delay of some period of time  measured in milliseconds   However  an important note  because of the nature of javascript  the rest of the code continues to run after the timer is setup       someid   addClass  load     setTimeout function          someid   addClass  done       2000       Any code here will execute immediately after the  load  class is added to the element
