Click function in Jquery on different .aspx pages - javascript

I have two pages: index.aspx and dream.aspx. I have a button click me on index.aspx Here's my Jquery code that clicks on that button:
function createItemButton()
{
setTimeout(
function()
{
$("#CreateItem").click();
},5000); //Delay of 5 seconds
}
createItemButton();
The delay added is because of the rest of the code not posted here. Once the click me button is triggered, it takes me to the dream.aspx page. There's another button back on that page, which when clicked, takes me back to the index.aspx page. Here's my attempt to automate everything:
function createItemButton()
{
setTimeout(
function()
{
$("#CreateItem").click(); //id of click me button on index.aspx page
},5000); //Delay of 5 seconds
}
function createItemButton1()
{
setTimeout(
function()
{
$("#back").click(); //id of back button on dream.aspx page
},7000); //Delay of 7 seconds
}
function call()
{
createItemButton();
createItemButton1();
}
call();
My thinking is that once it redirects to the dream.aspx page, it'll wait another 2 seconds ( 7000 - 5000 delay ) and the trigger a click on the back button and take me back to the index.aspx page. But for some reason, after it is taking me to the dream.aspx page, it's not triggering a click on the back button on the same page. I have tried giving multiple delays in the same setTimeout() function also. Something like:
function(){
setTimeout(function() {
$("#CreateItem").click();
$("#back").click();
}, 3000));
}
I have been informed that this code will give a delay of 3 seconds to each of the clicks. But it did not work for me. I also tried a couple of other things but nothing worked.
Basically, once I move from the index.aspx page after clicking on the click me button, I want the back button on the dream.aspx page to take me back to the index.aspx page after a couple of seconds. All automated. FYI, I am running this code in console. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

The code for back button (function createItemButton1()) and its call must be placed in dream.aspx. Once you leave index.aspx, all javascript code in it is gone along with any pending timeouts.

Auto go back after clicking a link in Javascript

When a user click an href link with id="boo" I am trying to get the browser to automatically go 'back' after 2 seconds.
This isn't working and i'm reaching out for some help from you all. Thanks in advance!
document.getElementById("boo").addEventListener("click",
function a(event) {
setTimeout(function() {window.location = History.back},2000)}
);
Edit: (Adding this to clarify my goal)
so basically i want to do two things on click. navigate to a different page (time.is) and then automatically go back to the original page after 4 seconds.
I think you have to make the default function of <a> tag stop working. Please try adding .preventDefault().
document.getElementById("boo").addEventListener("click",
function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
setTimeout(function() {window.history.back()}, 2000);
}
);
If you want to do two things on one click, I suggest this:
Open the other website in a new tab
Go back to a previous page after 2 seconds in an initial tab
JavaScript:
document.getElementById("boo").addEventListener("click",
function (event) {
// Remove .preventDefault()
setTimeout(function() {window.history.back()}, 2000);
}
);
HTML:
<a id="boo" class="clock" href="https://time.is/" target="_blank"></a>
A part from a syntax error (history should be lower case), you are setting window.location with the back function, without executing it.
This should fix your code:
document.getElementById("boo").addEventListener("click",
function(event) {
setTimeout(function() {window.history.back()}, 2000);
});

clickNextButton not executing properly when previously clicking on the next button

I am building a survey in Qualtrics and use the method clickNextButton to automatically direct the participant to the next page with questions. I implemented the method in several following pages. Furthermore, participants are also able to click the next button themselves. The problem arises when they do so: if they click on the next button before the time limit, in the next page the method directs the participant earlier than given to the page after that one.
this.hideNextButton();
var that = this;
(function(){that.clickNextButton();}).delay(40);
For example, I set the time limit on 40 seconds on every page. On page 1, the participant manually clicks on the 'next button' after 10 seconds. What happens then is that on page 2, the participant is forwarded to page 3 after 28 seconds instead of 40. If he would have clicked on the 'next button' on page 1 after 5 seconds, he would have been forwarded on page 2 to page 3 after around 33 seconds. So it apparently depends on his click speed on page 1 when he will be directed on page 2. How can I prevent this?
Rather than using the timer for automatic redirection. call respective on click method when the question is answered so it will redirect to the respective page. and also reset the timer on every page redirection.
You need to clear the timeout if the respondent clicks the Next button themselves (delay is just a prototypejs implementation of setTimeout). Do it something like this:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
this.hideNextButton();
var that = this;
var timer = setTimeout(function() { that.clickNextButton(); },4000);
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() { clearTimeout(timer); });
});

Javascript code to Click a Button on a Webpage for every 5 Minutes

I have a webpage and it has a Refresh Button. I need to click the button every 5 minutes. The Normal Refresh or Reload or F5 doesn't work in this situation. Is there a way that Javascript can do this task.
Like, I will save the javascript as Bookmark and once I click the bookmark. Then, the javascript event has to click the refresh button every 5 minutes.
I googled it and I found the below code. But, it doesn't work. When I click on it, it just showing a random number in a blank page.
javascript:if(window.autoRefreshInterval) { clearInterval(window.autoRefreshInterval); };
window.autoRefreshInterval = setInterval(function() { jQuery(".refresh").click(); },60000)
thank you in advance,
"I have a webpage and it has a Refresh Button. I need to click the
button every 5 minutes. The Normal Refresh or Reload or F5 doesn't
work in this situation. Is there a way that Javascript can do this
task."
It's not very clear to me, but every time you refresh a webpage, javascript is loaded again. So if you have intervals or variables they are reset at each refresh. If you want to keep some value among refreshs you can store values using localStorage or cookies for example.
If you want refresh automatically page you can use setInterval or metatag "refresh".
"Like, I will save the javascript as Bookmark and once I click the
bookmark. Then, the javascript event has to click the refresh button
every 5 minutes."
Look at this: Add a bookmark that is only javascript, not a URL
you can call your refresh code function or button click event in
setTimeout(yourFucntion(),5000);
else
setTimeout($("#btnName").click(),5000);
Try below code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body onload="f1()">
<script language ="javascript" >
var tmp;
function f1() {
tmp = setInterval(() => f2(), 2000); // replace this with 5 min timer
}
function f2() {
document.getElementById("Button1").click();
}
function f3() {
console.log("Hello World");
}
</script>
<button id="Button1" onclick="f3()">click me</button>
<div id="demo"></div>
</body>
</html>
There are two versions for you to try, one uses javascript to click the button the other automates running the function that they have tied to the button.
Non jQuery:
javascript:(function(){if(window.autoRefreshInterval) {clearInterval(window.autoRefreshInterval);}window.autoRefreshInterval = setInterval(function(){document.getElementsByClassName("refresh")[0].addEventListener('click');},60000);})()
Or with jQuery (OP's comment on original thread):
javascript:(function(){if(window.autoRefreshInterval) {clearInterval(window.autoRefreshInterval);}window.autoRefreshInterval = setInterval(function(){$ctrl.refresh();},60000);})()
Delayed post, but hopefully it helps someone :-).
The trick for me was locating the element by css document.querySelector('.pbi-glyph-refresh').click();
You can combine this with the original code like so, it correctly clicks the PowerBI refresh button on a 60 second timer (the var is in ms).
javascript:if(window.autoRefreshInterval) { clearInterval(window.autoRefreshInterval); };
window.autoRefreshInterval = setInterval(function() {document.querySelector('.pbi-glyph-refresh').click(); },60000)

Refresh the page after 90 seconds after clicking on a button

May I know if it is possible to refresh a page 90 seconds later after clicking a button.
Scenario:
At 10:10:00, a person click a button on my website. The button will show some information in the current page.
At 10:11:30, (which is 90 seconds later) the page refresh itself.
I can't seems to find any thing about this. Mostly, I see pages that show how to refresh the same page without pressing a button.
The button that I am referring to use <input type="submit"></input and not the normal <button> and therefore the page will refresh immediately.
Use window.setTimeOut for that.
document.getElementById("myBtn").addEventListener("click",function () {
var timeoutID = window.setTimeout(function () {
alert("That was 2 secs slow!");
}, 2000);
});
<button id="myBtn">delayed alert</button>

How to reset jquery dialog timeout for next dialog?

I have an add-to-bag button used throughout our site and we want a dynamic popup to appear to acknowledge what was just added, and then it goes away. I'm finding that if you click another add button, it has the previous dialog's timeout attached. To fix this so the next dialog has its own 10,000 setTimeout rather than whatever is left over from the last one I have come up with the following code (that doesn't do the trick).
$(document).ready(function ()
{
// Create object for future dialog box - so it's available to the close method
var addToBagDialogVar = $('<div id="addToBagDialogBox"></div>');
var autoCloseTimeout = 10000;
var dialogTimer;
$(".addToBagPU").click(function (e)
{
var result = "";
$.get(this.href, function (data) { SetData(addToBagDialogVar, data); });
return false;
});
// Start listening for the close link click
$(document).on("click", "#bagPUCloseLink", function (event)
{
event.preventDefault();
CloseDialog(addToBagDialogVar);
});
function SetData(addToBagDialogVar, data)
{
result = data;
var regex = data.match("{{(.*)}}");
var bagCount = regex[1];
addToBagDialogVar.html(result).dialog({
open: function ()
{
clearTimeout(dialogTimer);
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").hide();
SetBagCount(bagCount),
dialogTimer = setTimeout(function () { CloseDialog(addToBagDialogVar); }, autoCloseTimeout);
},
show: { effect: "fadeIn", duration: 800 },
close: function () { clearTimeout(dialogTimer); },
width: 320
});
}
function CloseDialog(closeThisDialog)
{
closeThisDialog.dialog("close");
closeThisDialog.dialog("destroy").remove();
}
});
The dialog is loaded with dynamic content from an external .Net page with product data and has a close link inside that page, which is why the dialog is loaded into addToBagDialogVar so it's available to CloseDialog.
All of that works just fine. It's just the reset of the timer that doesn't appear to be happening. If I go down a page of products and add each one to my bag, the 3rd or 4th dialog is only up for a second or so because they have all been using the first dialogs setTimeout.
I've read and read and tried too many different ways to remember and now my brain is mush.
I propose an alternate explanation for the behavior you're observing. When you click the first "add to cart", a timer is started. As you go down the page clicking "add to cart", a new timer is started each time. There's no overlap, just a bunch of separate timers running normally (although incidentally, each new dialog box blows away the timer ID you've previously created; I'll come back to this).
When your first dialog's timer expires, the dialog closes itself via the HTML ID, meaning it closes itself with something like a jquery $('div#addToBagDialogBox').closeOrSomethingLikeThat(), that is, every dialog inside a div with an id of addToBagDialogBox. The first timer expiration is closing all of your dialogs, because they all use that same HTML ID. The other timers are running perfectly, but when they expire there's nothing left for them to do.
You can fix the early-close problem by assigning a unique HTML ID to each dialog you create. And you'll want to manage your timer IDs on a per-dialog basis as well, such that each dialog has its own timer ID.
Edit: Just for nerdy grins, think about the details of the scenario you described. Your first timer is running, counting down normally, and you start four other timers while the first dialog is still there. The ID of the fifth timer is in your variable dialogTimer. So when the first dialog's timer expires, the close processing occurs, and you call clearTimeout with the ID of the fifth dialog's timer. So your first dialog's timer expired, the dialog closed all the other dialogs, and the cleanup cancelled the fifth timer. There are three other timers still running, their IDs lost forever. They finally expire and their shutdown functions run, but they're totally without effect, their companion dialogs long gone. Sorry, bona fide nerd here.
