wait for some condition resolved in JS ugly hack ):

waitfor_condition.js

//**********************************************************************
// function waitfor - Wait until a condition is met
//        
// Needed parameters:
//    test: function that returns a value
//    expectedValue: the value of the test function we are waiting for
//    msec: delay between the calls to test
//    callback: function to execute when the condition is met
// Parameters for debugging:
//    count: used to count the loops
//    source: a string to specify an ID, a message, etc
//**********************************************************************
function waitfor(test, expectedValue, msec, count, source, callback) {
    // Check if condition met. If not, re-check later (msec).
    while (test() !== expectedValue) {
        count++;
        setTimeout(function() {
            waitfor(test, expectedValue, msec, count, source, callback);
        }, msec);
        return;
    }
    // Condition finally met. callback() can be executed.
    console.log(source + ': ' + test() + ', expected: ' + expectedValue + ', ' + count + ' loops.');
    callback();
