DHTML Window widget - how to delay popup

**shaunmacie** · 06-05-2007, 03:52 AM

1) Script Title: DHTML Window widget

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ndow/index.htm

3) Describe problem:

I am working on this script set up on my page in progress:
http://www.campuscalm.com/dhtml.html

I am looking to have the window load after about 15 seconds or so instead of loading immediately on pageload. The .JS file is really complex and I don't dare mess with something way beyond my level, so I am hoping someone can tell me what code could be included to create a delay. I think I need to use a command something like this: window.setTimeout("firePopup()", 15000); but I don't have any idea how to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Shaun

I did some more research and I think I'm on the right track, but it needs fine tuning because it still doesn't work. I added the function script for my window to delay 5 seconds, but either it not formatted correctly or it won't work this way, because it doesn't work as-is:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dhtmlwindow/windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css" type="text/css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
function Delay()
{
  setTimeout('popupwin', 5000);
}

</script>

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

I have a modified code that works in Safari, but doesn't work in IE or Firefox. Here it is:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dhtmlwindow/windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css" type="text/css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
function Delay()
{
  setTimeout('popupwin()',5000);
}

</script>

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