How do you run function after so many seconds
like if I had a button that would call a function, how would I make it work so the function works after a few seconds after the button is clicked?

See the sticky post at the top of this forum about setInterval() - that's what you're looking for.

code:

---

millisecondsToDelay = 4*1000; // 4 seconds



myFutureFunction = function()

{

  clearInterval(ih);

  // do future stuff here...

}



ih = setInterval(myFutureFunction, millisecondsToDelay);
