Delay jquery function / form submit

im struggling to get a function to be delayed for 3 seconds.. this is on an image - 

 function base64_tofield() {

            $('#formfield').val($.scriptcam.getFrameAsBase64());

             document.form.submit();
           };

ive tried:

setTimeout( function () { 
          base64_tofield(); 
           }, 3000);

to no avail. the form is just submitting without the 3 second delay - any ideas? do i need to 'block' the form or what?

thanks!

image code:

<img id="btn1" onclick="base64_tofield()">
Solution

  • Live Demo : alert will popup after 3 secs.

    Try this:

    <img id="btn1" onclick="new_fun()">

function new_fun()
{
    setTimeout( function () { 
          base64_tofield(); 
    }, 3000);
}

function base64_tofield() {
    $('#formfield').val($.scriptcam.getFrameAsBase64());
    document.form.submit();
};
