Get class of dynamically created div - jQuery

Question

Alright I have this :

$('.myKnownClass').click(function() {

            $('.menu').addClass('testingClass');

 });

When I click on the .myKnownClass, another script adds a div.menu, but it doesn't create it instantly (like 0.4 seconds, depends on the server).

Is there any way, within the "click", to wait till a div.menu is present on the body ?

Thanks.

You can use `setTimeout` to delay your script, but it would be vey unreliable. Does the other script not provide you any events when it has completed? — Rory McCrossan, Apr 17 '14 at 12:52
Simple rule with AJAX: anything that depends on the response must be done in the callback function. So move the `addClass` code there. — Barmar, Apr 17 '14 at 12:55
No, I don't have access to this script, that is why I am asking this. — Anthony, Apr 17 '14 at 12:56

Maybe you could do something with jQuerys Deferreds. I don't really know how to use it, but maybe you can do something with it.

How can jQuery deferred be used?

$('.myKnownClass').click(function() {

            var interval = setInterval(function(){
                   if($(".menu").length){
                          $('.menu').addClass('testingClass');
                          clearInterval(interval);
                   }
            },200);

 });

Why would you want this to happen every 200ms? I think you want `setTimeout`, but even that is a flawed solution as I mentioned above. – Rory McCrossan Apr 17 '14 at 13:00
