redirect a webpage

andycape · May 12, 2004

Anyone aware of the javascript you would use to make a redirect page?

ie : Redirect the user to a different page and maybe have one of this messages
"You will be redirected to XXX in 5 seconds, or else click on this link"

Obviously this is just an html file , and I guess you would include the javascript in the head?

Thanx...

Try this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	function startTimer() {
		setTimeout('document.location = \'[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.co.uk/\'',[/URL] 5000);
	}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="startTimer();">
	Please wait 5 seconds to be redirected, or click <a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.co.uk/">here</a>[/URL]
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan
