title: jQuery — Using .delay() to postpone a .load()?
body: <p>I've just run into an issue with using jQuery's .delay() method (v 1.4.2) to try to delay a following .load() method.</p>
  
  <p>Like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('myElement').delay(500).load('myPage.php');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems to just ignore the .delay().</p>
  
  <p>I've evenutally figured out a work-around like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>setTimeout(function(){
      $('myElement').load('myPage.php');
  }, 500);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, that's not as elegant. Anyone else run into this and found a better solution?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
