如何在 window.open(url, _blank) 之后开始下载文件

Question

what i need is:

• user click a link
• the download start automatically
• after 2 sec a new tab will open whit the URL of the Thank You page

Now, this is my code

<script type="text/javascript">
function DownloadAndRedirect()
{
   var DownloadURL = "url-of-the-file";
   var RedirectURL = "url-of-thank-you-page";
   var RedirectPauseSeconds = 2;
   location.href = DownloadURL;
   setTimeout(DoTheRedirect(+RedirectURL+),parseInt(RedirectPauseSeconds*1000));
}
function DoTheRedirect(url) { window.location=url; }
</script>

Can you provide the correct code? i know i can use window.open...but how?

Thanks

Answer 1

You are not using the setTimeout correctly. You need to pass the thanksyou page url and set the seconds to 2000 which are equivalent to 2 seconds.

In setTimeout use window.open with a target _blank so that it opens in a new tab .

Live Demo: (Code tested and its working on localhost)

 function DownloadAndRedirect() { var DownloadURL = "https://www.google.com/"; var RedirectURL = "https://www.google.com/"; location.href = DownloadURL; setTimeout(function() { window.open(RedirectURL, '_blank') }, 2000) } DownloadAndRedirect()
