How do I delay triggering a rule condition for an event based rule?

[rajatkhare]

Hey guys,

I created an event-based rule that is triggered when a user clicks on a link. I need to check if a certain class exists on an element to determine if the rule has to be triggered or not.

The class is added when a user clicks on a link.

The problem (I think) is that by the time the class is added, the rule condition is already checked and the rule is not triggered. Is there a way to delay the checking of the rule condition?

I tried the following but it's not working:

window.setTimeout(function() {

if(!$('.login-register').hasClass('closed')) {

return true;

  }

}, 1000); // Wait for one second to check if the class 'closed' has been added to the element.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could create a data element based on $('.login-register').hasClass('closed')

Then you could create a data element changed rule that allows you to further inspect for the required value.
