Execute script after specific delay using JavaScript

Question

Is there any JavaScript method similar to the jQuery delay() or wait() (to delay the execution of a script for a specific amount of time)?

Answer 1

Just to expand a little... You can execute code directly in the setTimeout call, but as @patrick says, you normally assign a callback function, like this. The time is milliseconds

setTimeout(func, 4000);
function func() {
    alert('Do stuff here');
}
