Timer or button to launch VB script?

118 100+

I am making a CD based website. I have made the code to open the CD tray... (below)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

<!--
 
Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
 
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then

        For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1

                colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

        Next ' cdrom

End If
 
-->

</SCRIPT>

This code has to be placed in the <head> tag but will execute automatically on the loading of the page. Is it possible to set a timer for it to execute after 60 seconds, for example; or on the click of a button?

Thanks,

Sam

This seems like more of a Javascript question or are you trying to do this with VB Script?

I was thinking of a button or a timer to launch the code. Using either HTML or Javascript but I'm not sure how to do it. For instance, in a Javascript script the function has a name such as: "function1()" so then you can say using HTML:

<input type="button" onClick="function1()">
-or-
<Body onload="function1()" onunload="stoptimer()"> etc...

But for the VBScript I don't know how to execute it with a button using HTML or Javascript. At the moment when it is in the <head> of my site it executes the script as it loads the page.

Any ideas?
