    hey

    fairly novice web developer here with a simple question

    I want to place an auto redirect on a splash page

    so for example user searches google, finds my site, they click and get a splash page, and then get redirected to website conent page after say five seconds

    I found this code and its probably just a case of adding the code for the time

    <head>
    ...head section stuff (Title, Description,etc.)...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=pagename.html">
    </head>

    any help appreciated

    cheers

    Yep, just google html redirect and you'll get all the info you'll need! That code looks about right, but I wouldn't know it 100% off the top of my head.

    It's all there, just change the 5 to how ever many seconds you want before redirect and pagename.html to what ever url.

    client side if possible... something like this?

    <script>

    // Created by: Jon Brown :: http://allthingsrunescape.freewebs.com

    var c=5;
    var t;

    function timedCount() {
    document.title='Cagerage.tv | Redirecting in ' + c + ' seconds';
    c=c-1;
    t=setTimeout("timedCount()",1000);
    if (c==-1) {
    clearTimeout(t);
    document.title='Redirecting ...';

    self.location="http://www.cagerage.tv/index2.htm";
    }
    }

    window.onload=timedCount;
    </script>

    your original code would really be what you're after I think
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.mynewpage.com/page2.html" />

    By using the javascript .. you're relying on the browser having javascript enabled ... (while its rare enough that it isn't enabled .. it seems like a long way of going about it)
