You dont need javascript to accomplish this effect. You just need to use a refresh meta tag.

see:

for info.

if you are intent on using JS then something like this would work.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var myUrl;
var myTimeout;
function popup(url, timeout){
myUrl = url;
var make;
make = setTimeout("doOpen()",Math.round(timeout * 1000));
}
function doOpen(){window.open(myUrl,'');}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="popup('http://www.google.ca','3')">
when calling the popup funtion you will need to pass in two values. The url, and the timeout in second.<br /> so in the example below i have <i>onClick="popup('http://google.ca','10')"</i> or goto = google.ca, timeout = 10 seconds.
<br /><input type="button" value="open popup" onClick="popup('http://google.ca','10')">
</body>
</html>
