JavaScript - Timeout Window.location

Can someone tell me how to change the following code so that it will open in a new window? (like target="_blank" in html)

Code:

if (phone_num=="1234")
document.location="http://mysite/formgov/makeadifference.html";

I have searched for hours trying to find a solution and have tried many things, nothing has worked.

The example shown above is just one of many urls that I want to change.

Any help would be appreciated. Maybe this is not possible. I know nothing about javascript.

how can you do

onclick="return getconfirm('do you want to logout?');"
onClick="window.location('logout.asp');"

on the same button , if confirm then go url else stay here ?

thank you

Hey guys.
I'm currently paying for a web service on a hosted platform. Basically, I'm unable to edit any raw content, however I am able to do things like add JS/HTML to the header or footer of a page, which will in turn be displayed on every page of this platform. My dilemma is, I only want content being showed on a single page of the platform. Specifically, I want a window.alert being displayed on the "/signup" page, but all I have to work with is JS in a global footer.

Is there some way I can use window.location to achieve this?

I guess this is an easy question for all javascripters but I don't know how to manage (I'm pretty fresh with JS). I found two solutions on this forum but it seems that they don't work(?).

I want to delay for few seconds window.location.href="destination_site.html" before it will automatically take visitor to destination site. It has something to do with setTimeout but I would be greatful for posting a fixed code.

Thanks in advance.

dears,

am trying to redirect user from onchange event to another location in the page.
its work fine in IE but not in firefox :-(

why window.location doesn't work in FF ?

Html:

Code:

<form name="forder">
<select name="bycat" onchange="gocat()">
<option value=1>one</option>
<option value=2>two</option>
<option value=3>three</option>
</select>
</form>

javascript:

Code:

function gocat()
{
 window.location ="index.php?show&cat=" + forder.bycat.options(forder.bycat.selectedIndex).value;
}

any idea????

Sorry, this is a newbie question, and probably really dumb, but...

If I create a function that looks like this...

Code:

function recall(tim)
{
   setTimeout("window.location.replace('somepage.html')",tim);
}

...it works fine when called.

However; I want to be able to pass the page url in a variable, something like this...

Code:

function recall(tim, myurl)
{
   setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim);
}

...but this creates an error, saying "myurl is not defined."

Even if I simplify the code and place the url in a variable within the function...

Code:

function recall(tim)
{
   var myurl="somepage.html";
   setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim);
}

...I still get the "myurl is not defined" error, even tho I am defining it.

Plz can someone explain what I'm doing wrong.

Tkx...

EDIT: I SOLVED THIS BY USING "#" instead of "?". Thank you.

Hello.

My goal is to take a user's email from a form, store it in a cookie, and append it to the window location on the following page. I am doing this so that when a user shares the page with "add this widget" the stats will show me who shared the page.

The problem I have is that window.location.replace("?"+ user_email); seems to be sending the browser in an infinite loop. Right now it is running as an inline function in the head. I tried calling the function with body onload and had the same problem.

Code:

<script = "Javascript">
(function readCookie() {

var user_email = unescape(document.cookie);

if (document.cookie)
  {
 window.location.replace("?"+user_email);
  }

})();
</script>

Is there another way I could achieve the same result?

Thank you,
Jack

I know next to nothing about javascript and I don't even know if this is possible. I need to target window.location.href to an iframe on a different page.

So, right now, the piece of the code that redirects the browser looks like this:

Code:

window.location.href='http://www.somewhere.com/';

Works great, brings it up in the same browser window. So now I need to modify the code so it goes to a different page and brings that page up in a specified iframe.

I hope this makes sense. I really need help. And if it is not possible, I just need to know to abandon all hope.

Hi, my employer found a shell html file with just a script on it as in the title

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location="/controlPanel"

</script> 


Can anyone tell me what this might be doing? He said he doesnt even remember uploading this file to his site.

I tried googleing the code, but didn't find specifically what it is. I think maybe its a redirect of sorts, but not sure, and definately not sure why we have it or how we have it.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I'm using the following Javascript code to show a div layer depending on the URL

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

if (location.href.match(/folder/)) {

document.getElementById("div-layer").style.display="block";

}

</script>

This works perfectly when I visit http://www.domain.com/folder but I do not want it to match any subfolders beneath /folder, for example:

http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder
http://www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder2

etc.

Does anyone know how I can modify the code to only match /folder or /folder/ and no subfolders beneath it?

Thank you in advance.

is there a way to make it so when the user clicked the start game button that the button would appear for a few seconds then disappear and when the start game button was clicked again another one would appear again?

I found a simple script from the net that redirects the user to another page after timeout. I want to redirect the user to an anchor (an anchor called #done) in the SAME page, but i couldn't do it. Here's the code. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Code:

<form name="redirect">
<center>
<font face="Arial"><b>You will be redirected to the script in<br><br>
<form>
<input type="text" size="3" name="redirect2">
</form>
seconds</b></font>
</center>

<script>
<!--

/*

*/

//change below target URL to your own
var targetURL="http://myurl.com" 
// tried #done/samepage.htm as also samepage.htm/#done
//change the second to start counting down from
var countdownfrom=6


var currentsecond=document.redirect.redirect2.value=countdownfrom+1
function countredirect(){
if (currentsecond!=1){
currentsecond-=1
document.redirect.redirect2.value=currentsecond
}
else{
window.location=targetURL
return
}
setTimeout("countredirect()",1000)
}

countredirect()

Hi all,
I have some card/images and would like to have the first one displayed.Which i can do.

Then when I mouse click on the card/image it goes to another image for say 2 secs, then with out clicking goes back to the orignal card. I have played with the syntax for ages and also looked on the net and cannot get it right.

This is what I have so far.
Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
var back = new Image();
back.src = "back.gif";// preloads the image.

var ace = new Image();
ace.src = "0.gif"; //Preload the Image

var two = new Image();
two.src = "1.gif";// preloads the image.

var three = new Image();
three.src = "2.gif";// preloads the image.

var four = new Image();
four.src = "3.gif";// preloads the image.

var five = new Image();
five.src = "4.gif";// preloads the image.
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img name="img0">
<img name="img1"> // what is this for?

<script>

document.images['img0'].src = back.src;//displays image
/*How do I have one card diplayed then mouseclick on that one card and another card will display for 2 secs 
then the card will go back to original card.
*/
</script>

</body>
</html>

Any ideas ?
Thanks heaps

Hi, I've created a function that calls to get data from my MySQL database. If there is no data in my MySQL database, I want the page to just keep refreshing and then if it finds the data, I want it to echo it to the page. I'll post my code below and it'll give you an idea of what's going on.

<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$.ajax({
url: 'retrieve.php',
data: "",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
var videoid = data[0];
if (videoid == false)
{
setTimeout("location.reload(true);",1000);
}
else
{
$('#youtube').html("<iframe width='400' height='225' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/"+videoid+"?rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>");
}
}
});

</script>
</head>
<body onload="$.ajax();">
<div class="container">
<div id="youtube">
<!----- checkServer() output appears here !----->
</div>
</div>
</body>


So as you can see the idea is that if there is a video id present in the database, it echoes the embed code for the YouTube video. If the database is empty, it just keeps refreshing the page. However this not what's happening. At the moment it just keeps echoing an empty YouTube video onto the page. I think it has something to do with my if and else syntax?

Thanks for any help you can give. Also I apologize in advance if this a retarded way of doing things. I just need a basic proof concept before I make this code work any better.

I have this code that when you click a button it will shuffle items in an array then you have 10 seconds to read it then the array items disappear. But I need to figure out how to make it so that you can do something like click another button that will allow you to click the twister drill button again and it will shuffle it

heres the code any help would be appreciated
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction()
{
var myarray=["red","blue", "yellow", "orange"]
myarray.sort(function() {return 0.5 - Math.random()})
var x=document.getElementById("demo");
x.innerHTML=myarray;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
{
var t=setTimeout("alertMsg()",10000);
}
function alertMsg()
{
 document.getElementById("demo").style.display="none";
}
</script>




<button onclick="myFunction()">Twister Drill</button>

<font size="5">
<p id="demo"></p>
</font>
