Another question about SetTimeOut

[calgarychinese]

If I have a code like the following:

line 1
line 2
line 3
call window.SetTimeOut("MyFunction()", 1000)
line 4
line 5
line 6

Am I correct that while the system will wait 1000msec before executing MyFunction, lines 4 to 6 won't wait? I hope to actually delay lines 4 to 6 as well, but they're not really part of MyFunction().... am I therefore forced to include lines 4 to 6 in MyFunction() as well then?

Thanks

They won't wait. To include or not include in the same function, it is up to designer to decide. The function MyFunction() is executed in the global context. Hence, that is something to take into account to write the function.

I asked whether to include lines 4 to 6 in MyFunction() or not because if I don't, then they will be executed before MyFunction finishes, which I don't want to see happen.

I want to make sure lines 4 to 6 are executed only after MyFunction returns a value.

Thanks

I have answered it. Then include them in the function as a plausible solution.
