Timed POP-UP Window

[JrClown]

Hello fellas.
I was wondering if this is even posible. I have a linked image that when clicked it displays a 300x300 window. I would like this window to only display for 15 seconds or so, how is this done, if possible. Thanks in advance.


<a href=&quot;javascriptopUpWindow(1);&quot;><img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;images/globe.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;></a>

<script language=javascript>
function popUpWindow(value){
urlString = 'file:///L:/forms'
window.open(urlString,'newwindow','height=300,width=300');
}
</script></td>

Hi,

I think something like this would help:

<script language=javascript>
function popUpWindow(value)
{
urlString = 'file:///L:/forms'
window.open(urlString,'newwindow','height=300,width=300');
}

function closeWindow()
{
newwindow.close();
}

setTimeout(&quot;closeWindow()&quot;,15000);
</script>

Good luck

I have a question re: the above...
What if the windows are being opened in another frame...can you put that script in a different frame and have it still close the windows. If not, is there a way to close all &quot;child&quot; windows at once...

for example...I use

http://start.at/

for a pointer to my ip address, but start.at puts in their own pop up windows which can get very annoying. So I am trying to create a script that will close those windows as soon as they open when someone comes to my site.

dbrom, it giving me an error (in green below)
It seems that when I give it the &quot;NewWindow&quot; reference it does not take it.


<script language=javascript>
function popUpWindow(value)
{
urlString = 'file:///L:/forms'
window.open(urlString,'newwindow','height=300,width=300');
}

function closeWindow()
{
newwindow.close();
}

setTimeout(&quot;closeWindow()&quot;,15000);
</script>
