JavaScript Event Trigger

Question

Below is a series of events that should run as listed, but I used a timer to delay the events, which is not a good practice, is there a way to run them after each other without the delay timer?

$(".component-select",closestTable).val(parseData.component).trigger("change");

setTimeout(function() {
    $(".key-select",closestTable).val(parseData.key).trigger("change");
},1000);  

setTimeout(function() {                                                 
    $.each(parseData.instance, function (dIndex, dValue){                             
        $(".add_instance",closestTable).trigger("click");
        $("tbody select:last",closestTable).val(dValue).trigger("change");
    });
},1500);

You might be able to use jQuery deferred promises

another potentially useful resource:
