So, here is function, when I put setTimeout() function in the checkForm function it doesnt work, also tried putting it outside checkForm function and it also doesnt work.
function checkForm(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var name = document.getElementById('username').value;
var email = document.getElementById('user-email').value;
var message = document.getElementById('message').value;
var error = "";
if (name.length == 1 || email.length == 1 || message.length == 1) {
error = "Min length of the fields is 2 character."
} else if (name == "" || email == "" || message == "") {
error = "Fields are empty."
} else if (name.length > 15 || email.length > 20 || message.length > 100) {
error = "Max length of the fields is 15 charcaters."
}
if (error == "") {
alert("You sucessfully filled up the form.");
setTimeout(function () {
window.location = "https://www.ebay.com/"
}, 5000);
} else {
document.getElementById('errorDiv').innerHTML = error;
}
}
You need change to window.location.href = "your link"
function checkForm(event) {
setTimeout(function () {
window.location.href = "https://www.ebay.com/";
alert('go to ebay');
}, 2000);
}<button onclick="checkForm()">Check Form</button>You try this way
setTimeout(function () {
location.href = "https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_loc_href_set";
}, 2000);
By any chance is the alert popping up and you are not acknowledging the pop-up and this is causing the browser to wait for you to acknowledge the pop up. if that is the case remove the alert("You sucessfully filled up the form.") and check if it works
