Answer 2

In most modern browsers you are not allowed to call window.open programatically, like through a setTimeout.

The browser will simply ignore the window.open statement if it is not inside a callstack that is initiated by a direct user interaction, for instance a mouse click event.

The reason for this is that it is very annoying behavior - you probably won't find a single person who enjoys using a site that opens windows by itself.

So: reconsider what you are trying to do, there is bound to be a better way - one where you can work with the browser/user and not against it/him/her :)
