title: why is this setTimeout not working
body: <p>I'm just getting into Java. I'm working on a simple script to open a window, then close it after a short delay. I've tried various connotations of the following with no avail. The function works (in that it opens, then closes the window) but the delay fails to happen.</p>
  
  <pre><code>function manualWindow(){
  testWindow = window.open("popup.php","interaction","resizable=0,width=800,height=600,status=0");
  setTimeout(testWindow.close(),5000);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
