I had to leave town for a few days, so I ended up missing the deadline I promised on this page anyway. Time crunch aside though, it apears that I may need a bit of help with the setTimeout script that you so graciously wrote for me afterall. After adding it I'm getting nothing but an empty white browser. Any ideas? Current page . . . (http://www.angelfire.com/rock/tillhell)

A valiant effort Mr. Clark. However the results remain the same. Could this be a hopelessly lost cause?

There was nothing at all wrong with the piece of script that you presented so I would suggest that the problem is with your function golink. Could you give us a link to the page?

Dave Actually, it doesn't; quotes are only required in certain cases (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2). However, this is one of those cases and I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing out my error. (Please forgive me, I've an influenza and I've been taking a most wonderful cough syrup. But I have to be very careful with the stuff. I like codine a bit too much.)

So yes, Maxx needs to use your example and post his code so that we can see what else is going on. I suspect that there is no golink() function though there might be a goLink() function. And I suspect that that piece of script would have been better written:

onLoad="setTimeout('window.location =\\'http://www.angelfire.com/rock/tillhell/titlepage/titlepage.html\\'',10000);"

Maxx,
Could you post your code? Or attach it perhaps?

This is the page that I'm working on - Current page (http://www.angelfire.com/rock/tillhell) And this is the page that I need the link to - Linked page (http://www.angelfire.com/rock/tillhell/titlepage/titlepage.html) (There are 2 applets running on this page, and it doesn't always load them both - a problem I intend to remedy shortly). Many thanx to all of you for lending a hand here. I will change the script to Daves version at my earliest convenience.

Okie, try copying and pasting this instead of what you have.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

<!-- THE JAVASCRIPT NEEDED TO FUNCTION
function golink(url){
parent.location = url;
}

Well . . . I still seem to be getting the same results - an empty white browser. Aparently the URL does not belong in the head function? I didn't realize that the first time through. I attempted to ad Mr. Clarks changes as well, and they didn't seem to have any effect. I really hate to see you gentlemen spending so much time helping little old me - but believe me I'll owe you all a huge favor if you can figure out how to get this thing to do what I need it to do. Is there a different way of going about it perhaps? If there doesn't seem to be any way of tweeking the script we have then perhaps a different script (or even more than one script) could perform the same functions. Just an idea. Again, my most sincere thanx to all of you . . .
