automatic timed popups with
PopUp Maker

Step 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.
