Use animation frames to run code before the next paint.



window.requestAnimationFrame()



$('.lorem').on('click', function(){
// The browser will paint async not sync, so the div may still be visible
// even after this line
$(this).hide();
// when the browser is ready to paint the div off screen the callback will fire
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => {
if (prompt('DO SOMETHING') != null) {
console.log('something');
}
});
});


note: You may have to do nested animation frames as browsers tend to implement request animation frame differently.



requestAnimationFrame(() => requestAnimationFrame(() => {
...
}));

    You can use a setTimeout:



     document.querySelector('.lorem').addEventListener('click',  () => {
    document.querySelector('.lorem').style.display = "none";
    setTimeout(() => {
    if(prompt("do something") !== null) {
    console.log('do something')
    }
    }, 100)
    })
