how to open new window after 5 seconds using java script

Question

In my website, I need to open the page automatically after 5 seconds, I am using the following code, but my browser is showing POP-UP BLOCKED. Please let me know the solution for my query. Thanks in advance.

$(document).ready(function()
        {
            setTimeout(function(){ 
            window.open("http://www.google.com")}, 5000);
        });

user3450475 has nailed it, you want a pop-up, g good pop-up blocker will block that. Perhaps you could open the window when the user clicks a link and apply the 5 second delay server-side. — Jasen, Dec 04 '14 at 06:05

Use this instead:

$(document).ready(function () {
  setTimeout(function () {
    window.location.href = "http://www.google.com"
  }, 5000);
});

function open_win() {
    window.open("x.com");
    setTimeout("window.open('y.com')",60000);
    setTimeout("window.open('z.com')",120000);
}

This should open x.com then after one minute y.com and after two it should open z.com. If still there is a pop-up error, check this question's answer: Bypass popup blocker on window.open when JQuery event.preventDefault() is set.

Passing a string to `setTimeout()` to eval is rarely ever a good idea. – alex Dec 04 '14 at 06:03
For the newbies, it seems to be the simplest way to get it out. – Ataboy Josef Dec 04 '14 at 06:06
