Freeze script on some seconds

$(obj).each(function()
// 1) freeze

You don't freeze the script, that doesn't work well in an enviromment like a browser, you use a timeout to schedule code to start at a later time.

The trick with scheduling code in a loop is to schedule the code to run at differnt time in the future, e.g. the first code to run after 1000 ms., the second code to run after 2000 ms., and so on:

$(obj).each(function(i) {
  window.setTimeout(function(){
    // do something
  }, (i + 1) * 1000);
});

I'm assuming you want something like sleep ? You use the function setTimeout to call a function after a certain amount of time. So:

$(obj).each(function()
  setTimeout(someFunction, 1000);
});

to invoke someFunction after 1000ms, or as Andy mentioned you can just define an anonymous function to be called.

$(obj).each(function()
   setTimeout(function(){
      //do stuff
   },2000);
});
