How to use javascript settimeout to call functions in sequence

Using Javascript setTimeout to call javascript functions is easy. This simple tutorial explains the usage of javascript setTimeout function

setTimeout(function() {alert('something');}, 1000);

This will call alert function after 1 sec.
NOTE: This javascript function should be enclosed between script tags

Javascript setTimeout Function example

Lets say we create a function to do something, in our case it is just an alert

function myFunction(){

   alert("Function called");

}

Calling function on setTimeout

We can call the earlier created function using setTimeout 

setTimeout(myFunction, 1000);

I would generally wrap this line in another function and call it. And my whole script could be 

something like this 

starter();


function starter() {

    //DO SOMETHING

 setTimeout(myFunction, 1000);

}

function myFunction(){    alert("Function called"); }

Calling functions in sequence

You can repeat the above procedure and call as many functions you can 

starter();


function starter() {
    //DO SOMETHING
 setTimeout(myFunction, 1000);

}

function myFunction() {  
   alert("Function called"); 
   setTimeout(mySecondFunction, 1000);  

}

function mySecondFunction() {
     alert("Second Function called");
  
}
