Question

I have a function called format() that I would like to call after ondrop, but I need it to wait for 1 second before firing. I am new to JavaScript. How would I write that?

ondrop="setTimeout(format, 1000);"

Answer 1

Set timeout works by supplying two parameters, the function to call and the delay to wait,

setTimeout(format, 1000);

or

setTimeout(function(){
  //any other code you made need to run
  format()
}, 1000);
