Running code in new window

JavaScript
1

Really new to JS, but want someone to show me how to write code that will do the following:

I have a list of URLs

Open new window & visit URL #1.
Wait on page for random interval between 20 and 40 seconds.
Close window.
Wait random interval between 10 - 15 minutes

Open new window & visit URL #2.
Wait on page for random interval between 20 and 40 seconds.
Close window.
Wait random interval between 10 - 15 minutes

Keep repeating until the array of URL’s is empty.

you only need a couple of functions for that

The problem is… I have no idea how to pull it all together…

4

did you read the linked pages?

I did, but I am a complete noob to JS. I understand basic concepts, but writing a whole piece of code confuses me…

Here is the function that does what you want:

function openNextURL(opts){

    if (!opts.urls.length) { return; }

    var url = opts.urls.shift();
    var w = window.open(url);
	
    setTimeout(function(){
        w.close();
        setTimeout(function(){
            openNextURL(opts);
        }, getRandomInt(opts.waitBetween[0] * 1000, opts.waitBetween[1] * 1000));		
    }, getRandomInt(opts.waitOpened[0] * 1000, opts.waitOpened[1] * 1000));

    function getRandomInt(min, max) {
        return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
    }
	
}

and this is how to use it:

// config	
var options = {
    //list of urls:
    urls: ['http://google.com', 'http://yahoo.com', 'http://bing.com'],
    //intervals in seconds:
    waitOpened: [20, 40],
    waitBetween: [600, 900],
}	

// start
openNextURL(options);

Wow! Thanks so much. You just made my day!

This works perfect in Chrome. But when I try to run it in TOR, it opens the new tab for a second, then closes it. Any ideas?

Any messages in the console?
