using setTimeout synchronously in JavaScript

by

Is the code contained in a function?

function test() {
    setTimeout(...);     

    // code that you cannot modify?
}

In that case, you could prevent the function from further execution, and then run it again:

function test(flag) {

    if(!flag) {

        setTimeout(function() {

           alert();
           test(true);

        }, 5000);

        return;

    }

    // code that you cannot modify

}
