why delay() function not delaying the .load() function?

Question

$("#hastable").delay(2000).load("tbl_clients.php?page="); It is not working for me.

But otherwise all effect delay successfully for this .delay() function like .hide(),.show()

Not sure why it's not working for you, but here's an alternative to jQuery's delay function.

setTimeout(function(){
     $("#hastable").load("tbl_clients.php?page=");
}, 2000);
