Writing an onLoad function that includes a delay.

This code was written out of desperation when I could not use an embedded APPLET’s isActive() function to check if the APPLET was loaded. Instead, I waited for 500 milliseconds. Hopefully, there are better uses for this code.


<SCRIPT>

function OnLoadFunction(milliseconds_time)
{
 setTimeout("delayedOnLoadFunction()", milliseconds_time);
}

function delayedOnLoadFunction()
{
 /* Function body */
}
</SCRIPT>

<body onLoad="OnLoadFunction(500)">
