func (function) - function to be called
delay (number) - time interval in milliseconds

Example

<script> var obj = new AW.HTML.DIV; obj.setStyle("border", "1px solid red"); obj.setContent("html", "object"); document.write(obj); function showAlert(){ var msg = "Called from " + this; alert(msg); } obj.setTimeout(showAlert, 1000); </script>
