    <p>I have a document.onclick function that I would like to have a delay. I can't seem to get the syntax right.</p> <p>my original code is </p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; document.onclick=check; function check(e){do something} </code></pre> <p>I tried the below, but that code is incorrect, the function did not execute and nothing happened.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; document.onclick=setTimeout("check", 1000); function check(e){do something} </code></pre> <p>I tried the next set, the function got executed, but no delay.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; setTimeout(document.onclick=check, 1000); function check(e){do something} </code></pre> <p>what is the correct syntax for this code.</p> <p>TIA</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>The solutions were all good, my problem was that I use the function check to obtain the id of the element being clicked on. But after the delay, there is no "memory" of what was being clicked on, so the rest of the function does not get executed. Jimr wrote the short code to preserve clicked event.</p> <p>The code that is working (not work in IE6)</p> <pre><code>document.onclick = makeDelayedHandler( check, 1000 ); // Delay execution of event handler function "f" by "time" ms. function makeDelayedHandler( f, time) { return function( e ) { var ev = e || window.event; setTimeout( function() { f( ev ); }, time ); }; } function check(e){ var click = (e &amp;&amp; e.target) || (event &amp;&amp; event.srcElement); . . . </code></pre> <p>Thank you all.</p> <p>update: kennebec's solution works for IE6.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
