I have multiply functions with parameters simplified as:

    function f1(p1,p2){
        alert('Function one is P1:'+p1+' P2:'+p2);        
    }
    function f2(p1,p2){
        alert('Function two is P1:'+p1+' P2:'+p2);
    }

I need to fire these is a sequence with a delay between. I have however found that jQuery dislikes running functions with parameters. I have tried the .click function.

$.delay(1000).click(f1('One',false)).delay(1000).click(f2('One',false));

But the delay makes the click functions not work...

• javascript
• jquery
• delay

• Agreed - no need for jQuery at all here. Not sure what the click connection is. – Mitya Commented Aug 2, 2012 at 16:43
• jQuery's queue method is relevant for performing actions on DOM nodes between animations and the like. – zzzzBov Commented Aug 2, 2012 at 16:45
• $.delay is not a valid method unless you're using a plugin that you haven't told us about. – zzzzBov Commented Aug 2, 2012 at 16:45
• I just don't understand how .click was a possible solution to this problem. – Ryan Kinal Commented Aug 2, 2012 at 16:52
• thanks for all the answers, my problem is however that I have 7 functions all needing to be executed with a delay, some of them a jquery some a normal and some are both... – Andreas Jarbol Commented Aug 2, 2012 at 18:15

I would just use a simple timeout:

f1("one", false);
setTimeout(function() { f2("one", false); }, 1000);

$.delay(1000).click(function(){f1('One',false);}).delay(1000).click(function(){f2('One',false);});

not sure what the click is for though ...

if you want to delay a function call then a much simpler way is to use setTimeout().

eg: // calling it in a nested setTimeout for sequential delayed execution setTimeout(function(){

 f1('One',false);
  setTimeout(function(){
    f1('One',false)
  },300)
},300)

function fn1()
{
    alert(1);
}
function fn2()
{
    alert(2);
}
var arr=[fn1,fn2];
var len=arr.length;
var time=1000;
for(var k=0;k<len;k++)
{
    (function(k)
    {
        setTimeout(arr[k],time);
    }(k))
    time=time*2;
}

It executes after a delay of 1 second! DEMO
