page not redirecting in node












1















I am trying to redirect to a different page from a function using HTML and Javascript. When I hardcode the URL it gets redirected, but when I put it in a variable it does not. please help.



I am using node version 8.x



  function p(){
var c ="abc.com";
var e = `
<script type="text/javascript">
function Redirect(){
window.location=${c};
}
document.write("wait");
setTimeout('Redirect()', 1000);
</script>`
return e;

};

          You need to change two things




          1. add quotes around your passed page name



          2. and remove quotes from the timeout callback function



                 ...
            window.location="${callback}";
            ...
            setTimeout(Redirect, 5000);
            ....

            You need to fix your setTimeout function:



             setTimeout(Redirect, 5000); // pass in a reference to the Redirect function and don't use quotes.


            You can read more about setTimeout here.
