Javascript: how to open a page then wait for few seconds open another page in the same window
I tried to open an url in a window then wait for few seconds and opened another url in the same window. But the script doesn't work. When run it gives a blank window. I am new in Javascript. Can someone please help me?
I want to run it in Google Chrome as well.
The script is as follows:
my_window=window.open("","mywindow");
my_window.location="http://www.yahoo.com";
sleep(10000);
my_window.location="http://www.youtube.com";
sleep(10000);
my_window.close();
function sleep(delay)
{
var start = new Date().getTime();
while (new Date().getTime() < start + delay);
}
Answers:
You could give this a try:
<script type="text/javascript">
function def()
{
my_window.location="http://www.yahoo.com";
setTimeout("abc()", 3000);
}
function abc()
{
alert("Delayed 3 seconds");
my_window.location="http://www.youtube.com";
}
</script>
In general, it is inadvisable to use blocking loops in javascript. In your case, you would want to use something like setTimeout or setInterval. This code should work:
var win = window.open("http://foo.com");
setTimeout(function(){
win.location = "http://bar.com";
setTimeout(function(){
win.close();
}, 10000);
}, 10000);
Tested and this one works but the popup blocker appears
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function open_win()
{
setTimeout("go('http://www.yahoo.com')", 5000);
setTimeout("go('http://www.youtube.com')", 10000);
}
function go(url){
window.open(url);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Open Win" onclick="open_win()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
UPDATED
I wrote the following HTML and it worked fine for me showing what is required in your post:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var my_window;
function OpenWin()
{
my_window=window.open("http://www.yahoo.com", "_blank", "resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, titlebar=yes, width=1000, height=800, top=10, left=10");
setTimeout("GoUrl('http://www.youtube.com')", 10000);
}
function GoUrl(Url)
{
my_window.location=Url;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="OpenWin()">Open Window</button>
</body>
</html>
