As you've probably found, there is no sleep/wait/pause in JavaScript. The whole system is single-threaded, so any sort of "sleep" would hose the whole system. Your original statement doesn't actually make sense. As it is, function2 *doesn't* execute until open_popup returns, so that isn't really your problem. It sounds like you want function2 to execute after something setup within open_popup happens, which you would do with a callback.
