# jQuery doTimeout: Like setTimeout, but better! #

[http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-dotimeout-plugin/](http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-dotimeout-plugin/)

Version: 1.0, Last updated: 3/3/2010

jQuery doTimeout takes the work out of delayed code execution, including interval and timeout management, polling loops and debouncing. In addition, it's fully jQuery chainable, with a very simple, yet powerful API.

Visit the [project page](http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-dotimeout-plugin/) for more information and usage examples!

## Release History ##

1.0 - (3/3/2010) Callback can now be a string, in which case it will call the appropriate `$.method` or `$.fn.method`, depending on where `.doTimeout` was called. Callback must now return `true` (not just a truthy value) to poll.  

0.4 - (7/15/2009) Made the "id" argument optional, some other minor tweaks  

0.3 - (6/25/2009) Initial release
