Promises are wonderful here's a link.

If you're using jquery then you have access to promises - not A spec promises but that shouldn't matter for your use case

A simple callback function may work just as well.

There are a number of other patterns for handling control flow is JS land.

setTimeout is not a good match for the use case you've described.

If your devs can reproduce as a fiddle or jsbin and send a link it would really help.
