有没有比下面的pausecomp函数（取自此处）更好的方法来设计JavaScript中的睡眠？
function pausecomp(millis)
{
var date = new Date();
var curDate = null;
do { curDate = new Date(); }
while(curDate-date < millis);
}
这不是JavaScript中的Sleep的重复-动作之间的延迟；我希望在函数的中间有一个真正的睡眠，而不是在代码执行之前有一段延迟。

从该链接获取的代码不会冻结计算机。但它只在Firefox中有效。
/**
* Netscape compatible WaitForDelay function.
* You can use it as an alternative to Thread.Sleep() in any major programming language
* that support it while JavaScript it self doesn't have any built-in function to do such a thing.
* parameters:
* (Number) delay in millisecond
*/
function nsWaitForDelay(delay) {
/**
* Just uncomment this code if you're building an extension for Firefox.
* Since Firefox 3, we'll have to ask for user permission to execute XPCOM objects.
*/
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
// Get the current thread.
var thread = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/thread-manager;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIThreadManager).currentThread;
// Create an inner property to be used later as a notifier.
this.delayed = true;
/* Call JavaScript setTimeout function
* to execute this.delayed = false
* after it finishes.
*/
setTimeout("this.delayed = false;", delay);
/**
* Keep looping until this.delayed = false
*/
while (this.delayed) {
/**
* This code will not freeze your browser as it's documented in here:
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Threads#Waiting_for_a_background_task_to_complete
*/
thread.processNextEvent(true);
}

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.
*/
}
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。
这里的大多数答案都是错误的，或者至少是过时的。没有理由JavaScript必须是单线程的，事实上也不是。今天，所有主流浏览器都支持工人。在此之前，Rhino和Node.js等其他JavaScript运行时支持多线程。
“JavaScript是单线程的”不是有效答案。例如，在工作线程中运行睡眠函数不会阻止UI线程中运行的任何代码。
在支持生成器和yield的较新运行时中，可以在单线程环境中为sleep函数带来类似的功能：
// This is based on the latest ES6 drafts.
// JavaScript 1.7+ (SpiderMonkey/Firefox 2+) syntax is slightly different
// Run code you want to sleep here (omit star if using JavaScript 1.7)
function* main(){
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
// To sleep for 10 milliseconds 10 times in a row
yield 10;
}
yield 5;
console.log('I just slept 5 milliseconds!');
}
// Resume the given generator after ms milliseconds
function resume(ms, generator){
setTimeout(function(){
// Omit .value if using JavaScript 1.7
var nextSleep = generator.next().value;
resume(nextSleep, generator);
}, ms);
}
// Initialize a generator and get first sleep for the recursive function
var
generator = main(),
firstSleep = generator.next().value;
// Initialize recursive resume function
resume(firstSleep, generator);
这种对睡眠的模仿不同于真正的睡眠函数，因为它不会阻塞线程。它只是JavaScript当前setTimeout函数之上的糖。这种功能类型已经在Task.js中实现，现在应该可以在Firefox中使用。
我在JavaScript sleep/wait上搜索了很多网页。。。如果你想让JavaScript“RUN，DELAY，RUN”。。。大多数人得到的要么是“RUN，RUN（无用的东西），RUN”，要么是“RUN，RUN+延迟RUN”。。。
我想：这是一个有效的解决方案。。。但你必须把你的跑步代码切碎…：是的，我知道，这只是一个更容易理解的重构。。。还

如果您想休眠一个匿名函数，就像您创建的处理程序一样，我建议您使用以下方法：
function()
{
if (!wait_condition)
{
setTimeout(arguments.callee, 100, /* Comma-separated arguments here */);
}
// The rest of the function
}
这段代码表示“如果等待条件尚未满足，请使用这些参数再次调用此函数。”。
