javascript - setTimeout() is not working as it should be -

i need able wait amount of time when scroll event occurs.

code:

$(window).scroll(function()  {     if($(window).scrolltop() + $(window).height() == $(document).height())      {        settimeout(function (){}, 1000); //i need able wait 1 second , continue execution...        $(".loader").show().delay(700).fadeout();        $.ajax({ ///more code });     } }); 

any idea wrong?

why settimeout() doesn't work in particular example?

settimeout() non-blocking. move code should happen later empty function.

settimeout(function (){     $(".loader").show().delay(700).fadeout();     $.ajax({ /* more code */ }); }, 1000);
