Networking guy needs HELP.How to call an executable with a delay in JS

[yotafan]

Basically, i know how to call an executable, but i need to delay it from starting for 3 seconds.

When the code is ran it opens up a popup on the users machine which prompts them to hit Yes or No. I was able to use an other piece of software that will automatically answer yes when it opens, but when i try to call it in the javascript with the HREF= comman it starts before the popup. Is there a way to delay the start of the executable until the popup opens.

I am using AutoIT to automatically hit yes.

Use the settimeout function:

function confirmBox() {
     confirm("Click OK!");
}
setTimeout('confirmBox()', 3000)

That waits for 3 seconds to perform the "confirmBox" function
