setTimeout

[Simon]

Hi everybody

I have a function, called "Terug"
Within that function i want to go to another function (named Frames) after
let's say, 2 seconds.
How can I do that?

function Terug() {
some code
etc etc
etc etc

window.setTimeout(Frames,2000)
}
Function Frames() {
alert ('hello');
}

This doesn't work.
Any ideas?

window.setTimeout(Frames,2000)
}
Function Frames() {
alert ('hello');
}

This doesn't work.

setTimeout(Frames(),2000)

Voor oude browsers zelfs:

setTimeout('Frames()',2000)

Ok thanks, but when i place it in an "if-argument" it does go to the next
function but it doesn't wait for two seconds anymore..
This is the script: If the first url is equal to the next url (like it is in
my example) it must wait 2 seconds and then continue with function Frames().

function Terug() {
location.href =
"http://10.10.25.197/scripts/mgwms32...430448788&^VAR(LID,7)=^TO2001300B&DIS=KOSTENB"
;
if
('http://10.10.25.197/scripts/mgwms32...430448788&^VAR(LID,7)=^TO2001300B&DIS=KOSTENB')
{
window.setTimeout(Frames(),2000);
}
}
function Frames() {
if(parent.framesetgbv.cols=='0,*')
{ btr='700,*' }
else { btr=parent.framesetgbv.cols }
if (parent.framesetgbv.cols == "0,*")
{FrameSize = "700,*" }
if (parent.framesetgbv.cols == btr)
{ FrameSize = "0,*" }
parent.framesetgbv.cols = FrameSize;
}

Ok thanks,

Please don't top-post, reply below trimmed quotes.

You didn't follow Evertjan's post closely enough...

[...]

window.setTimeout(Frames(),2000);

setTimeout( 'Frames()', 2000 );}

Note the quotes around the function call - without them, the function
is executed immediately. There is also no need to include the window
object reference.

I'm sorry, don't know how this works. (Newsgroup) I will figure out what you
mean by top-posting.

When I place the '-mark around the functioncall it doesnt work at all.

Top-posting is putting your reply at the top and leaving the post that
you are replying to at the bottom. It is much more efficient to trim
the stuff you aren't interested in and reply below the bits you want
to comment on.

Read a few other posts here to get the idea.

Then you have some other error - try the following simple example:

<script type="text/javascript">

function sayHi(){alert('Hi');}

function foo() {
setTimeout('sayHi();', 2000);
}

foo();

</script>

Try -
setTimeout(function(){ Frames() },2000);

Try -
setTimeout(function(){ Frames() },2000);

Thanks, i tried it, but, unfortunately, it doesn't work. Does it have
something to do with the if-argument?
The line that worked best so far was: setTimeout(Frames,2000);
Only now it goes immediately to the function Frames, and totally ignores the
2 seconds.

Better IMHO to say "Read FAQ 2.3 paragraph 6", and give the URL of the
FAQ. That way, the questioner is encouraged to learn more than by
reading a few past articles.

A. <FAQENTRY> Even if the paragraphs of 2.3 cannot be sub-numbered as
by <OL>, it's always possible to type the necessary digits (or letter)
at the beginning of each paragraph. But it would be better split into
Reading, Asking, Replying, preceded by General.
