I am new to html dom that's why i don't know too much about it. I want to execute two functions in single html dom event. Here is the code.

<a id="link1" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.getElementById('link1').style.background-color='red'; 
setTimeout(function () {window.location.assign='http://www.google.com'}, 5000);"> Read it</a>

You should really not be hardcoding Javascript into onclick attributes, you should be writing pure Javascript in a .js file, attaching event handlers programmatically. Then the answer would be more obvious too. — deceze

window.location.assign is a function. You need to call it. window.location.assign('http://www.google.com');. If you want to use =, you just do window.location='http://www.google.com';. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.location — gen_Eric

I fixed your code:

<a id="link1" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.getElementById('link1').style['background-color']='red'; 
setTimeout(function () {window.location.assign('http://www.google.com'), 5000);"> Read it</a>

background-color has a dash and it is not a valid identifier so you need to use the bracket notation.
window.location.assign is a function.
