sleep function??

is there anything like a sleep function in JavaScript ??? Thank you

Hi,

Theres a setTimeout function which works similar to a sleep function but you have to call a function when the time elapses...

Code:

---

function sleep(maximumtim){
  setTimeout('endSleep()',maximumtim);
}

function endSleep(){
  // code at end ;
}

---

Call it like this...

sleep(5000); will stop for 5 seconds


Hope this helps :)
