Delay redirect

bradcom · Feb 4, 2004

Hi there,

I want to create a page that redirects the user to a different page, however I want the page to delay and show a message for 5 seconds before the redirect.

I've been trying to find a method of doing this, and have come up with the functions setTimeout(), and setInterval(), however I'm not sure how to implement them for my case.

Any advise would be great.

How about this?

<html>
<head>
<script>
function init(){
setTimeout('location.href="page2.htm"',5000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
