I would like everytthing to stay in the same browser window

<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

   <title>Basic Javascript Example</title>

   <script type="text/javascript" src="webSites.js"></script>
   
</head>

<body onload="start()">  

</body>

</html>

and my webSites.js:

var webSites = [
    'http://www.anotherWebPageOne.com/',
    'https://www.anotherWebPageTwo.com/',
    'http:www.anotherWebPageThree.com/',
];

var iTarget;

function nextTarget(){
    window.open( targets[iTarget], 'target' );
    if( ++iTarget >= targets.length ) {
        iTarget = 0;
    }
}

function start() {
    iTarget = 0;
    nextTarget();
    setInterval( nextTarget, 5000 );
}

start()

you can use :

<body onload="start()">  

</body>

or you can simply add start() to the end of your js file

just add start() to end of your webSites.js file

whatever in your js file will be executed automatically and you have to just call the start function in the js file by invoking it.

also, rename your webSites variable to targets.

in your JS file you just need to add window.onload = <Your Function Name>;
eg:-

var webSites = [
    'http://www.anotherWebPageOne.com/',
    'https://www.anotherWebPageTwo.com/',
    'http:www.anotherWebPageThree.com/',
];

var iTarget;

function nextTarget(){
    window.open( targets[iTarget], 'target' );
    if( ++iTarget >= targets.length ) {
        iTarget = 0;
    }
}

window.onload = nextTarget;

function start() {
    iTarget = 0;
    nextTarget();
    setInterval( nextTarget, 5000 );
}

I hope it will solve your problem

Try out this :- window.onload = function(){ // your code here };
