万一你真的需要睡眠（）来测试什么。但要注意，在调试过程中，大多数时候它都会使浏览器崩溃——这可能就是为什么无论如何都需要它的原因。在生产模式下，我将注释掉这个函数。

function pauseBrowser(millis) {
    var date = Date.now();
    var curDate = null;
    do {
        curDate = Date.now();
    } while (curDate-date < millis);
}

不要在循环中使用new Date（），除非你想浪费内存、处理能力、电池，甚至可能浪费设备的寿命。

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 // // //

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。

如果您使用jQuery，实际上有人创建了一个“延迟”插件，它只不过是setTimeout的包装器：

// Delay Plugin for jQuery
// - http://www.evanbot.com
// - © 2008 Evan Byrne

jQuery.fn.delay = function(time,func){
    this.each(function(){
        setTimeout(func,time);
    });

    return this;
};

然后，您可以按预期在一行函数调用中使用它：

$('#warning')
.addClass('highlight')
.delay(1000)
.removeClass('highlight');

如果（像我一样）你在Rhino中使用JavaScript，你可以使用。。。

try
{
  java.lang.Thread.sleep(timeInMilliseconds);
}
catch (e)
{
  /*
   * This will happen if the sleep is woken up - you might want to check
   * if enough time has passed and sleep again if not - depending on how
   * important the sleep time is to you.
   */
}

我使用多线程HTML5 Worker，它将能够中止指向无响应URL的同步XMLHttpRequest。这不会阻止浏览器。
