All you were missing was a construct instead of Sleep
. The js approach for accomplishing this is to use a timeout and a recursive call in order to iterate through your string
function type(string,element){
(function writer(i){
if(string.length <= i++){
element.value = string;
return;
}
element.value = string.substring(0,i);
if( element.value[element.value.length-1] != " " )element.focus();
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * (100)) + 140;
setTimeout(function(){writer(i);},rand);
})(0)
}
