Eu pesquisei / pesquisei algumas páginas da web em javascript sleep / wait ... e não há resposta se você quiser que o javascript "execute, atrase, execute" ... o que a maioria das pessoas conseguiu foi: "EXECUTAR, EXECUTAR (inútil coisas), EXECUTAR "ou" EXECUTAR, EXECUTAR + EXECUTAR atrasado "....
Então eu comi alguns hambúrgueres e fiquei pensando ::: aqui está uma solução que funciona ... mas você precisa cortar seus códigos de execução ... ::: sim, eu sei, isso é apenas uma refatoração mais fácil de ler .. . ainda...
