There in't a pause method in JavaScript.
The setTimeout function sets a timer running, but then allows the code to continue. When the timer runs out the 1st argument is evaluated.
To simulate a pause you'll have to put a loop into your code - a big loop that does nothing.
Warning - if its to big it'll either choke the browser, or be interrupted by the browser after so many thousand instructions.
