there is no JS method for sleep, and most JS engines, when they encounter a
loop that tries to mimic sleep, will warn the use of an endless loop (and it
might also break the browser). I suggest that you teach you're designers how
JS should be used instead. A sleep method, even if implemented correctly,
will freeze your browser, which is something you should *never ever* do
