Making loop to stop for a while

[saldikey]

Hi!
Is it possible to make loop wait on each step?

I tried to use setTimeout - its not working
I tried to use break - its let me do loop only once, than I made it nested loop - no visible pause

Please, I just dont wanna give up.

for (condition)
{
document.write(Something)
/*I want it make stop here*/
}


Thank you

var interval=setInterval(writeStuff,1500);
var i=0;
var thingsToWrite=["hello","how are you?","fine","you?","fine","good","bye"]; //it's a time like this I wish there was the qw "thingy" in JS!

function writeStuff() {
document.writeln(thingsToWrite[i]+"<br/>");
i++;
if(i==thingsToWrite.length) 
clearInterval(interval);
}

Hope that helps!

Happy coding!

This gives a pretty good explanation.

It works now, but only at IE
not NS, but I will do something about it
