Question

I need something like that:

onClick="function1(); function2();"

with a small delay between the functions. I DON'T WANT to call function2 at the end of function1.

onclick="functionCaller";

<script>
function functionCaller(){
    function1();
    setTimeout(function2, 500); //this will call function2 after 500 millisecons.
}
</script>

I've tried this but the setTimeout() doesn't work. It does the function instant. I don't know why. Tried .delay(3000) too, same problem. – Luk4s Jun 04 '16 at 16:24
Did you make sure to NOT add () on function 2? – Savvas Parastatidis Jun 04 '16 at 16:25

Yes, if you need to specify parameters for function2 you need to do this :) – Savvas Parastatidis Jun 04 '16 at 16:31
