JQuery Delay

//********************************************************************
//
//  jQuery delay created by Callum Taylor
//  v 0.1
//  This simple function is to emulate a javascript setTimeout but 
//  in a jQuery way. This is not the same as the standard effects delay
//  where you can only use delay AFTER an effect, this plugin can
//  be used on its own to delay a function from executing
//
//  Usage:
//  @delay: time in Milliseconds
//  @Callback: nested function or funtion name
//  $.delay(delay, callback);
//
//********************************************************************
 
$.delay = function(timeout, callback)
{
    $('body').append("<a id='jqdelay'></a>");
   
    $('#jqdelay').animate(
    {
        "delay": 1
    }, timeout, callback);
   
    $('#jqdelay').remove();
};
