JavaScript - How To Delay Window.location.href?
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. Similar TutorialsCode: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function confirmDelete(url){ var decision = confirm("Click OK to delete this post."); if(decision == true){ window.location = url; } } </script> <!--HTML LATER ON --> <a onclick="confirmDelete('deletePost.php?id=17')" href=''><img src='delete.png' alt='' title='Delete this post' /></a> I get absolutely nothing out of this. The confirm box pops up, but a the URL never changes when I click OK. I have no clue what's going wrong here. I'm using Google Chrome to test this out if that helps. Also does not work in Firefox. 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, 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. every time i try something it doesn't work for me god why is this javascript so hard to make it work... anyway, i just followed the guidelines to pass values from one page to another using ? and it simply, like always, DOES NOT work Code: <HEAD> ... ... <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function sendme(){ if (document.form1.question[0].checked == true) { whichone = 1; } if (document.form1.question[1].checked == true) { whichone = 2; } if (document.form1.question[2].checked == true) { whichone = 3; } if (document.form1.question[3].checked == true) { whichone = 4; } if (document.form1.question[4].checked == true) { whichone = 5; } if (document.form1.question[5].checked == true) { whichone = 6; } if (document.form1.question[6].checked == true) { whichone = 7; } if (document.form1.question[7].checked == true) { whichone = 8; } myString = qst1 + "=" + whichone; location.href = "Poll_Jan2010_02.html" + '?' + myString; } //--> </script> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <p><img src="63/images/poll_logo.jpg" width="655" height="92"> </p> <p> </p> <h2><u>Question 1</u></h2> <p><strong>Bla bla bla bla...</strong></p> <form name="form1"> <table width="60%" border="0"> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Grill"> option 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Club"> option 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Crepes"> option 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Sandwiches"> option 4</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Hotdog"> option 5</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Special"> option 6</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Refreshments"> option 7</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="question" type="radio" value="Salads"> option 8</td> </tr> </table> </form> <p> <a href="#null" class="style2" onclick="sendme();">Continue ></a> </p> </div> </body> Can someone see a difference between: <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Start" onClick="javascript:location.href='Poll_Jan2010_01.html'"> and: <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Next >" onClick="javascript:location.href='Poll_Jan2010_02.html'"> ??? Because the first works, but the second doesnt :/ All i wanna do is move on to the next page by clicking a submit button. From the first page it moves to second correctly. After that, it only refreshes the page and doesnt move on... Ok I have tried and tried and cannot get this code to work in safari or google chrome. Basically I am working on a shopping cart. The user will click the paypal pay now button. The form is submitted to paypal via a new window target="_blank" I also need to refresh the current page. This will write shopping cart data to DB via php upon page refresh. Safari and google Chrome will open the paypal window, but seems to ignore the javascript to refresh the browser. FF and IE both work fine. Code: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function newPage() { self.location.href=\'https://www.artists2you.com/s/orderconfirm.php?ordernumber='.$_SESSION['ordernumber'].'\'; } </script> Code: <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank"" onSubmit=\'newPage()\'> This little snippet of code (in full) refuses to lnk properly in FF and Chrome, but IE downloads the file. Code: <tr> <td nowrap> <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 11px; background-color: #FFFF00" onclick="location.href ('http://aapress.com.au/print/headerfooteron.reg')" class="hand" onmouseover="this.style.textDecoration='underline'" onmouseout="this.style.textDecoration='none'" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 700; background-color:#FFFF00;"> CLICK HERE</span><font size="2"> to turn </font> <span class="hand"> <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 11px; background-color: #FFFF00"> ON</span></span></td> <td nowrap width="100"> </td> </tr> Is there something wrong with using location.href? Can someone help me please? here is the script i'm working on: <script type="text/javascript"> function open_win() { window.open("Blank"); } </script> </head> </script> <form name = "myform"> <select name = "numberWindows" onchange = "openThem()"> <option value = "0">Choose....</option> <option value = "5">5</option> <option value = "10">10</option> <option value = "15">15</option> <option value = "20">20</option> <option value = "25">25</option> <option value = "30">30</option> <option value = "35">35</option> <option value = "40">40</option> </select> </form> <script type = "text/javascript"> var i; function openThem() { var val = parseInt(document.myform.numberWindows.value); for (i =0; i < val; i++) { open_win();} } </script> </body> </html> The script currently asks for the amount of tabs to open then opens them when the amount is selected. What i need to do is slow down the time between each open window to like 1000 millisecs i have tried using thread.sleep but then it only opens 1 tab. hi, have a series of 2 pages. The first is a drop down select box that gathers the state name. Onclick we are using a window.open to open a page with a list of cities for that state. Again using a drop down select box to select the city and then, onclick, we send the user off to the appropriate page based on state/city selection while at the same time updating the 1st (parent) page with a new location.href. Problem is that instead of updating the parent page, it updates the page with the list of cities (the child page). On the first page script we generate the following warning: Warning: XUL box for _moz_generated_content_after element contained an inline #text child, forcing all its children to be wrapped in a block. Source File: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Line: 0 First page is not generated via javascript but standard html. This happens both locally and when pages are moved to the server (Apache). First page script is as follows Code: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>J1</TITLE> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function StateSelect (form) { Item = form.state.selectedIndex; Result = form.state.options[Item].value; window.open('j2.htm?value='+ Result,'myWindow','resizeable=no,resizeable=0,scrollbars=no,scrollbars=0,location=no,location=0,toolbar=no,toolbar=0,directories=no,directories=0,menubar=no,menubar=0,status=no,status=0,copyhistory=no,copyhistory=0,width=300,height=100,left=300,top=300,screenX=300,screenY=300') } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> 2nd page (where user selects city) code is as follows: Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function CitySelect (form) { Item = form.city.selectedIndex; city = form.city.options[Item].value; state = document.myform.state.value; window.open('j3.htm','mywindow3') setTimeout("Func1()",3000); } function Func1() { parent.location.href='j4.htm?st='+ state + '&city=' + city,'mywinow2'; } </SCRIPT> Ideas on why and what the error (actually a warning) is trying to tell us? Thank you all! Jim What are the differences between results of these two. Code: window.location.hostname or Code: document.location.hostname Hi there im making a estate agency website for my college assignment and have come across a problem when using windows.location for some reason it is not working what i want to do is go to a page when searching the right content and then clicking the submit button so when i type hello for example into the text box i want to get relocated to renting1.html page but for some reason it is not working i know that the variable is set up right as if i change the content of the if statement to an alert then that works can anyone spot a problem in my code snipit <form id="form1" method="post" action="" > <label>Search House Name: <input name="Search" type="text" id="Search" size="50" /> </label> <label>Search <input type="submit" name="Search2" id="Search2" value="Submit" onclick="testResults()" /> </label> <script type="text/javascript"> function testResults() { var TestVar = form1.Search.value; if(TestVar=="hello") window.location = "renting1.html"; else alert("Invalid"); } </script> thanks for any help dave Hello In phase of my deployment I send the user a window from a servlet and inorder to communicate with an applet already loaded in another window in the browser I thought I could set the window.opener.location="${formbean.property}"; and it partly works, it get set, I see the new window flash, but it then executes that url. Two questions? 1. setting the window.opener.location in an onLoad() should not force a post back to the server, correct? I am just trying to keep that window I want up there and set an internal property so I can access the applet in the other window. Trying to make this "synthetically" a child of that page opened with the applet so I can call the applets methods simply. 2. Is there another way for a new browser window to directly access an applet in another page? I could go the route of making a probe applet and hoping they share the same JVM, (JRE1.6.0.25) access it that way. Is/how that the way to do it? If you go to: http://ocmd.freehostia.com/tbb/ You'll see that when the user presses enter, it goes to another page. Currently, in the scripts part of my page is this: Code: function checkKey() { if (window.event.keyCode == 13) { var audioElement = document.createElement('audio'); audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'horse.ogg'); audioElement.play(); window.location = "google.html"; return false; } } Notice how I'm trying to play an audio file? Well, I need for the window.location to go after the audio file plays, or alternatively for it to be played after xx milliseconds. Thank-you. Hi, I have a requirement of parent and child window. Onclick of a link on the parent page i am opening a child window with "window.location". On the child window i am displaying a jsp with the overlap screen on the parent screen using DOJO. After doing all the action on the child page when i am about to close the child window which is having button like cancel,close i am hiding the overlap screen. But my actual concern is when i close the child window, my parent page's scroll bar is scrolling down to the bottom of the page which should not happen and it should be there at the top of the page. How can i acheive this behaviour. Can anyone help me in this. Thanks in advance 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. 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???? 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? 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... --paul 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 |
