setAnimationFrame

Delay a function call without the use of setTimeout()

// Heads up!
// Animation timing functions work in enviroments that either render or 
// simulate the rendering of frames. (Unlike nodejs & dev tools)

var requestID = setAnimationFrame(function, delay);

• setAnimationFrame returns the requestID for cancellation via cancelRequestAnimationFrame() (polyfill).
• setAnimationFrame passes the given function the DOMHighResTimeStamp as a parameter.
• The delay units are in miliseconds.

Why not use setTimeout?
