Redirect WEB PAGE . . .

[IveCal]

Hello, I'm new in javascript. I hava a snippet below. This code will
redirect my current web page to http://www.test123test1111.com . . .
But I want to specify the number of seconds before it is redirected.
May I know how to do this? (As much as possible, meta tags should not
be used.) Please do reply. Thanks a lot.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location="http://www.test123test1111.com";
// -->
</script>

Why not, <meta refresh ... is the logical solution!

Or is this a school assignment?
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
do not use language="JavaScript" anymore
<!--
do not use <!-- anymore
window.location="http://www.test123test1111.com";
// -->
do not use // --> anymore
</script>

<script type='text/javascript'>

function redir(){
window.location.href="http://www.test123test1111.com";
};

setTimeout('redir()',3*1000)

</script>

Put this in your document's body,

<div id="lbl">&nbsp;</div>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var sec=5;
var lbl=document.getElementById("lbl");
function goTo() {
lbl.innerHTML=sec + " to go...";
sec--;
if(sec==-1) {
lbl.innerHTML="Loading...";
window.location="http://www.test123test1111.com";
} else {
setTimeout("goTo()",1000);
}
}
goTo();
// -->
</script>

Just use a simple setTimeout. The following one makes a 4 second wait
(setTimeout uses the time parameter in milliseconds).

<script type="text/javascript">
//never use that<!-- anymore
setTimeout("redirect()", 4000);
function redirect()
{
//don't use window.location anymore, it is considered deprecated to
most people
location.href = "http://www.test123test1111.com";
}
</script>

Also, this script should be in the body.

Eh? And what do you think you are using above? It's just a shortcut of
window.location.href
same as setTimeout or alert are shortcuts of
window.setTimeout and window.alert

You were thinking of document.location which is indeed deprecated now.
Historically (JavaScript 1.0) window.location was read/write and
document.location read-only, but later this schema was simplified in
favor of window.location only.

FYI, meta refresh is deprecated though I forget why. I use it myself,
because alternatives other than javascript are not available to me and
script may not be enabled.

function redir(){
window.location.href="http://www.test123test1111.com";
};

setTimeout('redir()',3*1000)

or just
setTimeout('window.location.href="http://www.test123test1111.com"', 3000)
?

How can something be deprecated that was never a standard to start with?

FYI as well: IE6 allows the explicit disabling of the META Refresh.

Javascript likewize!

If users want to cripple their browsers,
accommodating them with "gracefull degrading"
will only confirm them in their silly quest.
