I want to delay a Prototype AJAX form submit??

Question

Here is my code:

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {  
        Event.observe('form_post', 'submit', function(){
            new Ajax.Updater('Posts', 'getPosts.php', {
            });
        });
});

I just want to delay the call to Updater, any ideas??

Thanks

Answer 1

Wrap it in a setTimeout call.

Answer 2

Use the prototype delay method.

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {  
        Event.observe('form_post', 'submit', function(){
            new Ajax.Updater.delay(1, 'Posts', 'getPosts.php', {
            });
        });
});
