Pause in javascript

[steved]

I have an app that has two sections of code that needs a pause between the two. I was hoping to keep them as a single function using the following code:

var q = 0
        while (q = 0) {
            setTimeout('q = 1', 15000)
        }

This does not seem to be working any suggestions?

I think I fixxed it. Thats what I get for learning to program with TIBASIC.
while (q == 0)
