Is there a delay function in javascript?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there any way to select when a page is to be displayed after a given time? Let’s say I have a frameset with three frames, where the left frame is supposed to be displayed first, then after 3 seconds I want the right frame to be displayed and so on. Does anyone know?

This will delay the function for 2 seconds.

@SlankenOgenApr 21.2004 — Like this-

function getPage(){

parent.frames[n].location.href = "newPage.html";

}

where n is the frame number.

You can also use the frame name-

parent.frames["frameName"].location.href;

Success!
