弹出窗口打开，但不会自动关闭

Question

I need to automatically close the window that I've opened with the javascript below. The popup window is opening correctly, but it does not close automatically in 1 second.

 <script> function myFunction() { window.open("http://google.com", "_blank", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=50,left=250,width=300,height=150"); setTimeout("window.close();", 1000) } </script> 

Can someone please help fix it.

Thanks

Your settimeout is just calling a string, which is not a function.

You also need to get a reference to the pop-up then call the close on the reference:

<script>
function myFunction(e, anchor) {
    e.preventDefault(); // Prevent navigation to page
    var popup = window.open("http://google.com", "_blank", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=50,left=250,width=300,height=150");
    setTimeout(function(){
        popup.close();
        // Continue navigating to link
        window.location.href = anchor.getAttribute("href");
    }, 1000);
}
</script>


<a href="https://yahoo.com" onclick="myFunction(event, this)"> <span class="tcb-button-texts">TRY IT NOW</span> </a>
