一种非常简单的睡眠方式，它将与运行JavaScript的任何东西兼容。。。这段代码已经过500个条目的测试，CPU和内存的使用情况在我的web浏览器上仍然不可见。

这里有一个函数，它等待节点变为可见。。。

此函数创建一个新的上下文函数（）｛｝以避免递归。我们在这个新上下文中放置了与调用者代码相同的代码。我们使用函数Timeout在几秒钟后调用我们的函数。

var get_hyper = function(node, maxcount, only_relation) {
    if (node.offsetParent === null) {
        // node is hidden
        setTimeout(function () { get_hyper(node, maxcount, only_relation)}, 
                   1000);
        return;
    };

    // Enter the code here that waits for that node becoming visible
    // before getting executed.

};

JavaScript函数不允许任何暂停。使用同步JavaScript，可以实现过程。过程等待I/O操作和睡眠超时。它可用于JavaScript 1.7。

演示：

演示睡眠演示可暂停程序

function sleep(milliseconds) {
  var start = new Date().getTime();
  for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
    if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds){
      break;
    }
  }
}

我相信有一百万种方法可以做得更好，但我想我可以通过创建一个对象来尝试一下：

// execute code consecutively with delays (blocking/non-blocking internally)
function timed_functions()
{
    this.myfuncs = [];
    this.myfuncs_delays = []; // mirrors keys of myfuncs -- values stored are custom delays, or -1 for use default
    this.myfuncs_count = 0; // increment by 1 whenever we add a function
    this.myfuncs_prev    = -1; // previous index in array
    this.myfuncs_cur    = 0; // current index in array
    this.myfuncs_next  = 0; // next index in array
    this.delay_cur     = 0; // current delay in ms
    this.delay_default = 0; // default delay in ms
    this.loop = false;      // will this object continue to execute when at end of myfuncs array?
    this.finished = false;  // are we there yet?
    this.blocking = true;   // wait till code completes before firing timer?
    this.destroy = false;   // <advanced> destroy self when finished


    this.next_cycle = function() {
        var that  = this;
        var mytimer = this.delay_default;

        if(this.myfuncs_cur > -1)
            if(this.myfuncs_delays[this.myfuncs_cur] > -1)
                mytimer = this.myfuncs_delays[this.myfuncs_cur];

        console.log("fnc:" + this.myfuncs_cur);
        console.log("timer:" + mytimer);
        console.log("custom delay:" + this.myfuncs_delays[this.myfuncs_cur]);
        setTimeout(function() {
        // Time is up! Next cycle...
        that.cycle();

    }, mytimer);
}

this.cycle = function() {

    // Now check how far we are along our queue.. is this the last function?
    if(this.myfuncs_next + 1 > this.myfuncs_count)
    {
        if(this.loop)
        {
            console.log('looping..');
            this.myfuncs_next = 0;
        }
        else
            this.finished = true;
    }

    // First check if object isn't finished
    if(this.finished)
        return false;

    // HANDLE NON BLOCKING //
    if(this.blocking != true) // Blocking disabled
    {
        console.log("NOT BLOCKING");
        this.next_cycle();
    }

    // Set prev = current, and current to next, and next to new next
    this.myfuncs_prev = this.myfuncs_cur;
    this.myfuncs_cur  = this.myfuncs_next;
    this.myfuncs_next++;

    // Execute current slot
    this.myfuncs[this.myfuncs_cur]();

    // HANDLE BLOCKING
    if(this.blocking == true)  // Blocking enabled
    {
        console.log("BLOCKING");
        this.next_cycle();
    }

    return true;
};

// Adders
this.add = {
    that:this,

    fnc: function(aFunction) {
        // Add to the function array
        var cur_key = this.that.myfuncs_count++;
        this.that.myfuncs[cur_key] = aFunction;
        // Add to the delay reference array
        this.that.myfuncs_delays[cur_key] = -1;
    }
}; // end::this.add

// setters
this.set = {
    that:this,

    delay: function(ms) {
        var cur_key = this.that.myfuncs_count - 1;
        // This will handle the custom delay array this.that.myfunc_delays
        // Add a custom delay to your function container

        console.log("setting custom delay. key: "+ cur_key + " msecs: " + ms);
        if(cur_key > -1)
        {
            this.that.myfuncs_delays[cur_key] = ms;
        }
        // So now we create an entry on the delay variable
    },

    delay_cur:      function(ms) { this.that.delay_cur = ms; },
    delay_default:  function(ms) { this.that.delay_default = ms; },
    loop_on:        function()   { this.that.loop = true; },
    loop_off:       function()   { this.that.loop = false; },
    blocking_on:    function()   { this.that.blocking = true; },
    blocking_off:   function()   { this.that.blocking = false; },

    finished:            function(aBool) { this.that.finished = true; }
}; // end::this.set


// Setters
this.get = {
    that:this,

    delay_default: function() { return this.that.delay_default; },
    delay_cur:     function() { return this.that.delay_cur; }
    }; // end::this.get

} // end:::function timed_functions()

使用方式如下：

// // // BEGIN :: TEST // // //

// Initialize
var fncTimer = new timed_functions;

// Set some defaults
fncTimer.set.delay_default(1000);
fncTimer.set.blocking_on();
// fncTimer.set.loop_on();
// fncTimer.set.loop_off();


// BEGIN :: ADD FUNCTIONS (they will fire off in order)
fncTimer.add.fnc(function() {
    console.log('plan a (2 secs)');
});
fncTimer.set.delay(2000); // Set a custom delay for previously added function

fncTimer.add.fnc(function() {
    console.log('hello world (delay 3 seconds)');
});
fncTimer.set.delay(3000);

fncTimer.add.fnc(function() {
    console.log('wait 4 seconds...');
});
fncTimer.set.delay(4000);

fncTimer.add.fnc(function() {
    console.log('wait 2 seconds');
});
fncTimer.set.delay(2000);

fncTimer.add.fnc(function() {
    console.log('finished.');
});
// END :: ADD FUNCTIONS


// NOW RUN
fncTimer.cycle(); // Begin execution


// // // END :: TEST // // //

如果必须处理同步执行，我可以理解睡眠函数的用途。setInterval和setTimeout函数创建一个并行执行线程，该线程将执行序列返回到主程序，如果您必须等待给定的结果，这是无效的。当然，可以使用事件和处理程序，但在某些情况下，这不是预期的。

出于对$DEITY的热爱，请不要使用忙等待睡眠功能。setTimeout和setInterval可以满足您的需要。

var showHide=document.getElementById（'showHide'）；setInterval（（）=>{showHide.style.visibility=“初始”；setTimeout（（）=>{showHide.style.visibility=“隐藏”}, 1000);}, 2000); ＜div id=“showHide”＞您好！再见</分区>

每隔两秒隐藏文本一秒。这显示了如何使用setInterval和setTimeout每秒显示和隐藏文本。
