open win with delay

[hablablow]

Hello,
I am trying to open a delayed popup from a parent popup.
Say a page index loads. While body onload it opens a popup A.
After a delay i would like a popup B to show up.
The setTimeout i am using is mixed with another center window Js function, and this is my problem: i don't know how to proper insert the setTimeout in my center window script without having syntax script problems.
If anyone could give me a push on this below:

********** here is my center window script:*****************

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
var exwin=null;
function Warning (theURL,winName,features, myWidth, myHeight, isCenter) { //v3.0

if(window.screen)if(isCenter)if(isCenter==&quot;true&quot{
var myLeft = (screen.width-myWidth)/2;
var myTop = (screen.height-myHeight)/2;
features+=(features!='')?',':'';
features+=',left='+myLeft+',top='+myTop;
}
if(exwin!=null)exwin.close();
window.open(theURL,winName,features+((features!='')?',':'')+'width='+myWidth+',height='+myHeight);

}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

********************** In my body *********************

onLoad=&quot; javascript:Warning('warning.htm','warning','','200','200','true')............

*********************The delay function*******************

setTimeout('??????????????()',40000)

With the position script and the onload it works, but where should i put the delay ??
If anyone can help.
Thanks for your incomming messages.

Hi,

I tryed both solutions you are offering me but none works.
I know this is close and the answer is in the middle of it !

Victor, i tryed many ways this solution before but i always have a syntax problem
I put your code above in my onload
onLoad=&quot;setTimeout(&quot;Warning('warning.htm','warning','','200','200','true')&quot;,6000)...
Js console in netscape returns:
syntax error.

setTimeout(
..........^
and nothing happens even in Ie.
I would be glad if we could go on this way finding the trick.

Cyberwolf14 your solution opens several wrong windows.

This result should be usefull and i strangely found few things about this subject on the
net.
My problem remains because i want to mix this open with delay function with a center
popup script and that i am a little lost in Js syntax.

I appreciate your help.
If we could go on this subject.

backslash quotes, always backslash quotes when they'r einside of other quotes

several solutions:

1. onLoad=&quot;setTimeout(\&quot;Warning('warning.htm','warning','','200','200','true')\&quot;,6000)..&quot;; in the body tag

2. define your load handler inside of script tag
<script>
onload=function(){
setTimeout(&quot;Warning
('warning.htm','warning','','200','200','true')&quot;,6000);
//...
}
</script> Victor

Victor,

It...doesn't work

1) For your first option Js console in netscape replies:


illegal character.

setTimeout(...........^

2) Second option: nothing happens when you define it in a script. No errors, nothing...
Shall i call the script in the onload ?
Are we close ?

By the way it works in Ie when you put 1) + 2)...
Only netscape doesn't accept the \ character as mentioned above.

oops.. my fault.. i've mixed it all..

1. onLoad=&quot;setTimeout('Warning(\'warning.htm\',\'warning\',\'\',\'200\',\'200\',\'true\')',6000)&quot;

2. this thing works.. in nn4.5 under w98

<script>
onload=function(){
setTimeout(&quot;Warning()&quot;,6000);
//...
}
</script>

well..

here is explanation from js regexps:

\ Marks the next character as either a special character, a literal, a backreference, or an octal escape. For example, 'n' matches the character &quot;n&quot;. '\n' matches a newline character. The sequence '\\' matches &quot;\&quot; and &quot;\(&quot; matches &quot;(&quot;. Victor
