How to change this... [resolved]

I want to change this code into a code that instead of clicking a button does the feature evry 310 seconds all on its own..

How would i do it?

Heres the code...

Code:

<html> <head> <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> newurls=new Array() newurls[0]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=530740" newurls[1]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=530740" newurls[2]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=799044" newurls[3]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=560612" function picksite() { now=new Date() num=(now.getSeconds())%4 top.location.href = newurls[num] } </script> </head> <body> <center> <h2>!Click after 5 mins!</h2> <form> <input type="button" value="Click Here" onClick="picksite()"> </form> </center> </body> </html>

(this is actually my favourite script that i've made this year)

Well ant ideas like say a countdown timer with VAR seconds or something?

I will need th entire script back because last time i messed up :D

Thanks in advance

Just us the setInterval function. Add it right after the pick site function.

Code:

<html> <head> <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> newurls=new Array() newurls[0]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=530740" newurls[1]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=530740" newurls[2]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=799044" newurls[3]="http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=560612" function picksite() { now=new Date() num=(now.getSeconds())%4 top.location.href = newurls[num] } setInterval(picksite, 310000); //310,000 milliseconds in 310 seconds. </script> </head> <body> <center> PickSite will be called every 310 seconds. </center> </body> </html>

RealisticGraphics, shouldn't the setinterval() be placed within the function? Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't that just have picksite() once?

No, setInterval fires continously until cleared with clearInterval (or something like that). The function you refer to is setTimeout, which fires only once.
