Can you add to your work an html working example with a delayed item?
Would it be possible to incorporate some further settings?
- Time length between attempts
- Number of maximum attempts
- Callback for timeout (max attempts tried without finding element)
I've left this code here for anyone to reference, but I no longer maintain or add features to it. You are more than welcome to.
Hello! Would you be so kind to provide a license? It would be really helpful for people which want to use it in enterprises.
Hey, great plugin! Do you mind providing a liscence with it? Would really help know when and where I can use it. Thanks!
Cool
