One:
Make up your popup
code per usual with PopUp Maker.
Important: Remember
to use a different Function Name and PopUp Name
for each one if you are using more than one popup in a given page.
Insert the script(s)
in the head of the page, just as you usually do.
We'll show an outline
of how this all goes together at the end -- it's fairly easy to do.
Step Two:
For each popup --
after the popup scripts you inserted in Step One -- then you will
insert a call for a timer, like this:
<script>
setTimeout("doPopUp1()",
15000);
</script>
Call the popup
function as shown in red.
The 15000
shown in this sample is how long to wait before launching the
popup. The figure is in milliseconds (1000 = 1 second),
so, for example, the sample above is set to wait 15 seconds before
launching the popup.
General Outline:
This shows how it
will all go together in the <head> section of your page.
Here, we show how to do two such poppers with different start times.
<head>
<script>
// PopUp Maker 5.0 by CodeBrain.com
// PopUp Window Script
// Place this script in the <head> of your page.
function doPopUp1(){
doPopUp1Window = window.open(... etc. ...);
}
</script>
<script>
// PopUp Maker 5.0 by CodeBrain.com
// PopUp Window Script
// Place this script in the <head> of your page.
function doPopUp2(){
doPopUp2Window = window.open(... etc. ...);
}
</script>
<script>
setTimeout("doPopUp1()",
15000);
</script>
<script>
setTimeout("doPopUp2()",
30000);
</script>
</head>
Thus, we have two
different popups -- doPopUp1(
) and doPopUp2(
) -- which will
fire respectively at 15000
milliseconds (15 seconds) and 30000
milliseconds (30 seconds). To
do more than two -- just follow the overall pattern. I've
written this to try to make it as clear as possible to newcomers to
the art. More experienced coders can clean up the code by
removing the // comment lines and all but the very first
<script> and very last </script> tags around the code,
as they're redundant. This
is a handly technique for a variety of uses, so do bookmark this
page. Best
