Question

Does anyone know how can I make a sleep in javascript before next line been read by the system?

example:

    1 var chkResult = Validation();
    2 /

I Have the Hat has given the right hint. Use the setTimeout method to execute your forth line code after 10 seconds:

var chkResult = Validation();
var timeout = window.setTimeout(function() {
    document.getElementById('abc').innerHTML = chkResult;
}, 10000);

Storing the timeout ID in a variable can be handy if you want to clear a timeout.
