JavaScript setTimeout() won't wait to Execute? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
alertBox()
Doesn't this look like an immediate function call?
Try passing the function (without executing it) instead:
setInterval(alertBox, 5000);
Solution 2:
its because you are executing the function, not passing a function object.
function myFunction(){
setTimeout(doSomething, 3000); // no () on the function
};
