[Project_owners] Sleep or wait function for JavaScript

[joe ertaba]

Hi

I need to add sleep function in some procedure, I found some sleep function

function sleep(mTime)
{
  var sleeping = true;
  var now = new Date();
  var alarm;
  var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();
  while(sleeping){
     alarm = new Date();
     alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
     if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > mTime)
        sleeping = false;
  }
}

but it causes program to hang, any better sleep function ?
P.S: I cant use setTimeout function either
