My boss has asked for a page that will not change to have two

  • 0

My boss has asked for a page that will not change to have two timed pop ups load. I have found code and edited it to what I had thought it should do, but it is only loading the last onLoad event. I am a designer and I have helped with making webpages, but Javascript is so far outside of what I can understand. I have already learned how to use the single pop up and spent a whiiile learning the timeouts, but I cannot seem to get it to work with multiple popup functions. If you have a moment, would you take a look? Thank you 🙂

    first, let me give my condolences to you for having a boss who orders you to use popups… they’re hateful 🙁 anyways, if you wanna scare of visitors, i guess that’s up to you. so here goes:

    you’re overwriting the url variables with your timeouts. the following works for me in firefox though:
