setTimeout not working in for loop 1

[AaronBeau]

I am using the setTimeout function within a for loop, and for some reason it is not working. I am trying to have the script open a website, wait 5 seconds then close the website. After it closes, it should then open the next website. However, it just opens and closes them instantly, with the exception of the last website, which it closes in 5 seconds

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openSites() {

var openOneAtATime=new Array()
openOneAtATime[0]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ebay.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[1]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[2]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.cnn.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[3]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com"[/URL]
openOneAtATime[4]="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.amazon.com"[/URL]

var i=0;
for (i=0;i<openOneAtATime.length;i++) {
	WindowObjectReference = window.open(openOneAtATime[i],"window1")
	setTimeout("WindowObjectReference.close()",5000)
	}
}
</script>

This is ad hoc.

<script type="text/javascript">
[blue]var WindowObjectReference=null;[/blue]

function openSites() {

var openOneAtATime=new Array()[ignore]
openOneAtATime[0]="

http://www.ebay.com"

openOneAtATime[1]="

http://www.google.com"

openOneAtATime[2]="

http://www.cnn.com"

openOneAtATime[3]="

http://www.yahoo.com"

openOneAtATime[4]="

http://www.amazon.com"

[/ignore]

var i=0;
for (i=0;i<openOneAtATime.length;i++) {
setTimeout("WindowObjectReference = window.open('"+openOneAtATime+"','window1')",20000*i);
setTimeout("WindowObjectReference.close()",20000*(i+0.8))
}
}
</script>

You've to give reasonable layout over time. User-agent's speed and loading time of pages can vary making the overall effect/user-surfing experience unpredictable.
