How to open link automatically after certain time?

  • 772

I'm using a jQuery function, which allows to open a link automatically:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
         $('#some')[0].click();
    });
</script>
<a id="some" href="https://es.stackoverflow.com/">Automatico</a>

Can you explain to me how to make this function execute but after xseconds or minutes have passed.

  1. Best Answer
    setTimeout(function(){ 
  $('#some')[0].click();
},3000);//tiempo de espera en milisegundos.

    With setTimeoutwill execute after 3 seconds in this case. 1000 milliseconds is equal to 1 minute.

    Extra:

    If you don't need the link you can redirect the page without adding a tag <a>, like this:

    setTimeout(function(){ 
      window.location.href = "https://es.stackoverflow.com";
    },3000);

  2. You have to use setTimeout.

    
setTimeout(function(){
  $('#some')[0].click();
}, 2000);
