basic delay on jquery .click function

I have the most basic jquery function of them all, but I couldn't find a way in the documentation to trigger the contents of this click function after say 1500 milliseconds:

$('.masonryRecall').click(function(){
  $('#mainContent').masonry();
 });

P.S. just noticed the .delay function jquery 1.4, although, I am using version 1.3. I don't know whether updating this would interfere with any of the other javascript I currently have.

Solution

  • You can do it with regular javascript using setTimeout().

    $('.masonryRecall').click(function(){
        setTimeout("$('#mainContent').masonry()", 1500);
    });
