[SPAM] - Re: [Javascript] window.close not working - Email foundin subject

[Peter Brunone]

	How is the js file supposed to be executed?  Usually when one
uses the script src="file.js" syntax in HTML, it merely provides a
reference to be used by script in the page (although I realize that this
is not necessarily the case).

	Maybe in your remote javascript file, you could set a variable
after the database update is complete, and modify your setTimeout
function to check for the value so if the value was set, it would close
the window, and if not, it would go another round it its holding
pattern.

Hi,

I only want my window to close after I execute the following script.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://test.js"></script>      

It does not seem to work, I did change setTimeout 2 5 secs but still
does not execute my test.js.

Hello,

setTimeout takes msec as second argument. Putting 5,000,000,000,000 
msecs there will take you about appr. 58000 days to let the script be 
executed. First try using some other number like 5 seconds (5000 msecs).

Hope this helps,

Kim
