Re: JS Help

The problem seems to be the quotes.

You can nest upto one level, after that it's tricky.
For example " ' .......' ", works fine but you are looking at 3 levels of
quotes since settimeout() requires the function it calls to be quoted.

The alternative may be to write a function like

function openWin(){
    openAWindow('contact-pu.html','contact',500,480,1)
}

and

onload="setTimeout('openWin()', 5000)"

Ensure openWin has no params. I know it doesn't lend itself easily to
change, but you have a Hobson's choice :(

Cheers,
Srini
