Enjoy :)
// $(this).animate(xxx).delay(2000,function(){}).animate(xxx)
jQuery.fn.delay = function(t, f)
{
return
$(this).animate({d:1}, t, f) ;
}

xavier, that's all fine and good for the most simple of implementations, but your solution doesn't give you the ability to cancel a delayed callback.

Just a quick thanks dude, i wasn't looking forward to having to do a delay ;)
Cheers for the plug-in.

The timer consumes resource as is working till the time event triggers.
It means though we set timer to delay 50000 ms, the system keeps busy on the timer loop. Thanks to multithreading, but it would be better if we could use some alternative.
Evan commented on Xavier, better objective but yet unsatisfying. somebody get more...

THANKS HEAPS ! works like a charm, really was not in the mood to hard code in some settimeout wraps round a horrible ajax form !!!

I don't see how this is significantly different from just doing
var x = setTimeout( function() {
// stuff here
}, timeHere);
and
clearTimeout(x);
Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not more verbose than jQuery.
What I really want is to be able to set a delay in my current thread without locking the browser.
I need to:
myFunction() {
// Do stuff
// delay here
// Carry on here
}
I can't split into multiple functions -- I absolutely must stay within my function. However if I just do a tight loop waiting for a predetermined time, it will lock up any other background threads that I had running.
Really hoping to find a way around this -- any advice much appreciated.

Im trying to get this to work on an animation.
I need a delay so that when people are browsing over my thumnails the animations are not firing, but i can't get this to work. Can anyone take a look at my code you can see it here.

would really appreciate the help. if i place any of the timer within my function it breaks.
