I've been looking through the Stackoverflow questions, trying to get help with a simple link delay; I want to put it around a div, and I can't make heads or tails of the examples I've found.
So far, I understand that I need to halt the native function of href, but I don't know how to do that. The code is still very alien to me. Help?

The standard way of creating a delay in JavaScript is to use its setTimeout method. For example: console. log("Hello"); setTimeout(() => { console.
The delay is set in milliseconds and 1,000 milliseconds equals 1 second. If the delay is omitted from the setTimeout() method, then the delay is set to 0 and the function will execute.
The setTimeout() is executed only once. If you need repeated executions, use setInterval() instead. Use the clearTimeout() method to prevent the function from starting.
Set your href attribute as href="javascript:delay('URL')" and JavaScript:
function delay (URL) {
setTimeout( function() { window.location = URL }, 500 );
}
