Refresh page Script (mod)

[Master-T]

Script Title: Refresh page Script

Script URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/refresh.htm

Is there a way to make this script go to another page rather than refreshing the current page?

Switch the line:

window.location.reload()

with

window.open("newpage.htm","newWindow","width=500,height=500,left=5,top=30");

The width/height/left/top are just parameters to adjust the window settings.

//EDIT: Read post below . I didn't know that location.replace() was a function, so use Twey's example. Sorry folks.

What? That will (attempt to, and usually fail to due to popup blockers) open a new window. To navigate to another page, you would use:

location.replace("newpage.html");

Could you highlight each part of the code where I need to place that?

Thanks.

The red highlighted part is the only one you really have to change; however, if you want the link in the phrase

Next refresh in 57 seconds

to go to the new page, then make the changes with the highlighted "blue" parts.

Hope this helps.

//EDIT: sorry Mike, cross posted.

Er, using document.write() once the page has loaded will kind of break the page.

I thought it was odd as well, but that's the way the script is on DD.
