JavaScript Delayed Redirection

Question

JavaScript Delayed Redirection

I'm attempting to launch opera from the command line and have it redirect to a page after 30 seconds. Here's what I currently have:

C:\Programme\Opera\opera.exe -newpage javascript:function%20func1(){window.location.href='http://localhost/';}setTimeout('func1()',30000);

However, instead of redirecting as expected, the page just displays the number "1" and func1 is never executed. Is there a more effective way to achieve this inline, or should I consider creating a separate page with this functionality?

Recently discovered an improved method:

1.) Adjust the command line to:

C:\Programme\Opera\opera.exe -newpage file://localhost/C:/redirect.html

2.) Generate the file redirect.html with the following code for redirection:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Startup</title>
    <script>
    function redirect()
    {
        window.location.href = 'http://localhost/startup.php';
    }
    setTimeout('redirect()',60000);
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Loading...</p>
</body>
</html>

In reference to the initial example, it is advisable to wrap the setTimeout() call in void(). When setTimeout() is called, it generates a timeout identifier (such as the number 1) that serves as the result of the javascript: URL. The output of a javascript: URL determines the content for a document.
