There is no 'delay' or 'pause' in Javascript, you have to use a
timeout or interval. Maybe this will work (interval, vars passed with
a closure, if instead of while):
$(document).ready(function() {
var date_reg = $("input#date_requested").val();
var counter = -1;
slideTimer = setInterval((function(date,counter){ //global var
if (counter <= date) {
$('#result').load('/get_time_lapse.pl',
{date_requested:date});
counter++;
date--;
} else { clearInterval(slideTimer); }
})(date_reg,counter),2000);
});
