Javascript SetTimeout

Javascript SetTimeout

NOTE: If you have pop-ups blocked, the code below won't work, but luckily, the setTimeout tutorial works either way.

function yup() {
setTimeout("window.open('http://google.com')", 3000);
}

<body onLoad=yup()>

-We create a function and name it yup because we like the name yup.
-We call Javascript's built-in setTimeout method which takes two arguments.
---Our first argument is what we want to happen. (Open a window and go to google.)
---Our second argument is how long in milliseconds should the browser wait before executing our first argument. (example: 3000 is 3 seconds.)
-We call our yup function in the HTML body tag with Javascript onLoad.

NOTE: Since we called Javascript's built-in window.open method, which gets an argument too, we enclosed our entire first argument in double quotes, and then put our google URL in single quotes.
