How to delay onLoad client script by 3 seconds to run.

[VIKAS MISHRA]

I Have a onLoad client script which runs everytime when page gets loaded, 

Is there anything i can do so that this script will run 3 seconds letter when page is loading. 

Just wanted to add delay in the script.

Hi @VIKAS MISHRA ,

You can refer to the below script:

var startTime = new Date().getTime();
                var delay = 3000; // Simulating a delay of 3 seconds
                while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + delay) {
                    // Waiting for 3 seconds
                }

Hi @VIKAS MISHRA 

 you can use the set timeout as below.

setTimeout(function(){

g_form.setValue('category',''+cat);                
g_form.setValue('subcategory', subCat);
}, 5000);

What's your reason for wanting this? You will have a page loaded and someone already working on it and you client scripts does what it needs to do, possibly reverting things already done. As an end user I wouldn't be happy with delays on client side functionality. 3 seconds is long for the average user.

Hi @VIKAS MISHRA ,

I tried your problem in my PDI and it works for me please use below script 

function onLoad() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
	alert("Outside delay");
    setTimeout(function() {
		alert("Inside  delay");
    }, 2000);

}

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards
