How to keep message for few seconds...

[arravalli12]

I am updating a form and giving a message saying that Record Updated. Now I want to redirect to another page after showing the message for atleast 2-3 seconds.
At present, it redirects to other page without showing a message.
Is there any way to show the message for few seconds and then redirecting to other page?

Doupdate.Execute()
response.write " Record updated"
'Response.Redirect("familycode_Update.asp")

try this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!--

function redirect()
{
window.location = "insert your URL here"
}

setTimeout("redirect();", 3)

</SCRIPT>

or you can use this alternative:

<META http-equiv= "refresh" content="3;insert URL here">

Put this on the top of your page

-DNG

1)The function is blowing up the page for some reason.

2)<META http-equiv= "refresh" content="3;insert URL here"> is refreshing page every 3 seconds.

is the function giving any error...there is nothing wrong with the function...make sure you placed it in the right place...
