Why does the following function wait until after the while loop is finished
to update the #timer css? It happens in IE and Firefox  - I'm (still) using
jQ 1.1.2.

function wait(time){
  $("#timer").css("display","block");
  time = time * 1000;
  var sleeping = true;
  var now = new Date();
  var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();
  while(sleeping){
    alarm = new Date();
    alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
    if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > time){ sleeping = false; }
  }
}
