    if(document.getElementById('password').value == 'Techsoc'){
       newWin = window.open('https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRsNGb741vTBtSGlzbxnTsoZpFMs0l9ZMrD54uE4XGy6FvSMmNfp3RPWvDU3vI32iSIp07CEshGLo0M/pubhtml');
           }else{
        alert('Incorrect Password, please try again.');
        return false;
setTimeout(function(){newWin.close()}, 5000);
        }
}
</script>

Answer 1

The issue was with the timeout being within the else statement, when the new window have been created within the if. Now if you type in the password and click the button it should open the new tab and close after the time set in the timeout.

<input type="password" id="password"></input>
<button OnClick="validatePass()">Log In</button>
<script>

    var newWin;

    function validatePass() {
        if (document.getElementById('password').value == 'Techsoc') {
            newWin = window.open('https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRsNGb741vTBtSGlzbxnTsoZpFMs0l9ZMrD54uE4XGy6FvSMmNfp3RPWvDU3vI32iSIp07CEshGLo0M/pubhtml');
            setTimeout(
                function () {
                    newWin.close()
                }, 5000);
        }
        else {
            alert('Incorrect Password, please try again.');
            return false;
        }
    }
</script>
