Question

I’m new to jquery and even after looking at examples it eludes me. I am not using timeout: for the ajax options because the server responds fine, i just need an actual 1000ms delay to give Ruby’s Resque/Redis a set amount of time to move the jobs into the queue. I just want to run the main functio() after 1000 seconds (the setTimeout at the bottom is for the 2nd half of the process, which already works great)

$(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url:  "/percentcomplete",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(data) {
            if (data != null) {
                $("#status").fadeIn();
                if (data.name === "PostSaver") {
                    $(".refreshing").fadeIn();
                } else {
                    $(".rebuilding").fadeIn();
                }
                setTimeout(refreshStatus, 1000);
            }
        }
    });
});

Try this:

$(function() {
    function ajaxFunc() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            ...
        });
    }
    setTimeout(ajaxFunc, 1000);
});
