Delay function - jQuery

Question

I'm using Tweet and Truncate plugin simultanously, so if the tweet it too long it gets truncated after x chars.

$().ready(function() {

  $(".tweets").tweet({
    join_text: "auto",
    username: "dave",
    avatar_size: 18,
    count: 1,
    auto_join_text_default: "",
    loading_text: "Loading tweet..."
  });

  if ( $('.tweet_text')[0] ) { 
    alert('yay');
  }

});

... so the tweet function loads the tweet, but jquery doesn't find it! Is it possible to delay the next function so it can find it?

Thanks

Answer 1

There is a delay method in JQuery however a better solution would be to truncate in the tweet callback method.
