Redirecting using timeout and history.back

[krayziepjf]

I'm wanting to set a timeout for a page using the setTimeout function. I'm also wanting to send the user back to the page they were just at when the timer is hit. I've been using the following code:

<script language='javascript'>
   onload = function() 
   { 
      setTimeout(history.back(-1), 5000);
   }
</script>

When the page that contains this code is opened, it immediately takes the user back to the page they just viewed without waiting the 5 seconds. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Well...frankly, the whole idea.

<script type="text/javascript">

onload = function()
{
setTimeout('history.go(-1)', 5000);
}
</script>

Ah, it would be the single quotes that I missed. Thank you!
