JavaScript variable interpolation

Hi everybody,

Firstly, this would be the first time I'm using JavaScript. My background is mainly Perl. Nevertheless, here's my problem.

So I've created a function
Code:
function linkout(url){
   setTimeout("window.open(url)",5000) //in milliseconds
}

However because the variable "url" is within the double quotes, it doesn't interpolate the "url" variable being passed to the function (or so I think since it doesn't work. How do I check JavaScript errors anyway?).

If I remove the double quotes, the window.open works but without the setTimeout delay of 5 seconds.

Can anyone help shed some light?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

So I saw some code that was in this syntax '"+var+"' and I changed my variable to that and it works.
Code:
function linkout(url){
   setTimeout("window.open('"+url+"','newwindow')",5000);
}

Don't know why though.

JavaScript::Packer(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   JavaScript::Packer(3pm)

NAME
JavaScript::Packer - Perl version of Dean Edwards' Packer.js VERSION
Version 1.006003 DESCRIPTION
A JavaScript Compressor This module is an adaptation of Dean Edwards' Packer.js. Additional information: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/ SYNOPSIS
use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts ); To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2): my $ret = $packer->minify( $javascript, $opts ); For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function: JavaScript::Packer::minify( $javascript, $opts ); The first argument must be a scalarref of javascript-code. Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are: compress Defines compression level. Possible values are 'clean', 'shrink', 'obfuscate' and 'best'. Default value is 'clean'. 'best' uses 'shrink' or 'obfuscate' depending on which result is shorter. This is recommended because especially when compressing short scripts the result will exceed the input if compression level is 'obfuscate'. copyright You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script. remove_copyright If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright comment will be overwritten by a copyright notice defined with the copyright option. no_compress_comment If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a JavaScript comment that prevents the input being packed or defines a compression level. /* JavaScript::Packer _no_compress_ */ /* JavaScript::Packer shrink */ EXAMPLES
Example 1 Common usage. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' ); open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' ); my $js = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> ); $packer->minify( $js, { compress => 'best' } ); print COMPRESSED $js; close(UNCOMPRESSED); close(COMPRESSED); Example 2 A scalar is requested by the context. The input will remain unchanged. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use JavaScript::Packer; my $packer = JavaScript::Packer->init(); open( UNCOMPRESSED, 'uncompressed.js' ); open( COMPRESSED, '>compressed.js' ); my $uncompressed = join( '', <UNCOMPRESSED> ); my $compressed = $packer->minify( $uncompressed, { compress => 'best' } ); print COMPRESSED $compressed; close(UNCOMPRESSED); close(COMPRESSED); AUTHOR
