    Hi All,

    I'm trying to set up an asp script that redirects a user after a few seconds on a page - I cant use meta tags to redirect due to the page structure.

    does anyone have any similar scripts they could share?

    Thanks folks.

    I don't think you can use ASP to redirect after a given interval - they redirect as soon as the page is processed. You could try using JavaScript though. I think the syntax is as follows. The 3000 means 3 seconds
    <script type="text/JavaScript">
 	var x = setTimeout("document.location.href='newpage.asp'",3000);
</script>

    That did the job - thanks Eoin

    also I just found this

    <%
    Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "10;url=http://www.siteaddress.com/&quot;
    %>

    and it seemed to work also.

    Cool, I thought that would count as the meta tags that you said you couldn't use.

    nor did I, but it seemed to work fine. It was an "all in one page" effort, and I couldn't put the redirect in the meta details. But it was ok to use the script:

    Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "10;url=http://www.siteaddress.com/&quot;

    after the page had be submitted. I probably didnt properly say what I was trying to do. Anyhooo - it seems to work. Thanks Eoin.
