Question

How do I build in the functionality as demonstrated by the comments?

// for(x=0;x<10;x++)
$('a[attr*="unique"]:first').attr('id', 'mysuperid1');
document.getElementById("mysuperid1").click();
// delay

$("span:contains(action)").parent().click();
// delay

$jq("a:contains(action)").attr('id', 'mysuperid2');
document.getElementById("mysuperid2").click();
// delay

$('input[value="action"]').attr('id', "mysuperid3");
document.getElementById("mysuperid3").click();
// delay

// back to the top of loop

(names and select / search terms have been modified)

The problem I think is like the problem found here http://darklaunch.com/2011/05/21/javascript-for-loop-using-settimeout-to-pass-argument But I can’t figure out how to extrapolate what is taught on that link to contain multiple delays since I’m not a javascript developer.

This is a bot which will automate some web tasks for me.

Many thanks

Perhaps you could use this approach as a template, and then divide all your tasks into their own functions.

var delay = 1000;

function beginTasks(){
    taskOne();
}

function taskOne(){
    // Do something
    window.setTimeout(function(){
        taskTwo();
    }, delay);
}

function taskTwo(){
    // Do something else
    window.setTimeout(function(){
        beginTasks(); // <-- back to start
    }, delay);
}
