Question

Dear stackoverflowers,

I would lik to add an variable to the following js line:

 setTimeout("parent.location.href = 'http://www.url.com/lists.php?listid=';",2000);

How do I do this? I can’t seem to get the ‘ right.

 setTimeout("parent.location.href = 'http://www.url.com/lists.php?listid=' + variable;",2000);

It is always better to pass a function handler to setTimeout(). Moreover, it will easily solve your problem with placing the quotes:

setTimeout(function() {
    parent.location.href = "http://www.url.com/lists.php?listid=" + variable;
}, 2000);
