Can you spot the problem?

The first script runs with no problem. However, the second delayed script does not. Both are set to run wnen the page closes...onUnload.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

preview = window.open(URL, "preview", windowprops);

function doPopup() {
url = "

width = 267; // width of window in pixels
height = 103; // height of window in pixels
delay = 2; // time in seconds before popup opens
timer = setTimeout("Start(url, width, height)", delay*1000);
}
// End -->

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onUnload="leave()" "doPopup();" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

this line is not correct:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onUnload="leave()" "doPopup();" leftmargin
should be:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onUnload="leave();doPopup();" leftmargin

I am not sure the setTimeout does anything because the function finishes and the page unloads before the Start can be executed.

Yes I see, what would be the correct setTimeout, to have the delayed script run properly on a page Unload?

So when you leave the page you want to have a popup come up with a delay.
This is not possible because you have allready left the page and when you have left it no javascript is executed anymore.
<script>
function onUnload(){
alert('leaving the page');
setTimeout("allready left the page);",500);
}
</script>
<body onunload="onUnload()">
</body>
