I’m a big fan of jQuery and for all it’s super awesomeness, it doesn’t yet have a native “delay” method. I went looking for something that could delay some meny actions for me today and fortunately I found someone had written this little plugin 
A simple jQuery plugin that allows you to add a delay between jQuery functions. This small but very useful plugin that has saved me a lot of time. I haven’t done a lot of testing, but because the plugin is so small and simple (only 212 bytes!) I don’t think I could have missed much! ^^ via jQuery Delay Plugin – EvanBot.com.

Ah excellent – that plugin certainly does seem to be very clean. I’ll be sure to give that a try! Thanks for sharing
