javascript delayed redirect

As I mentioned recently in a thread on this same topic (did you search the forums?!), the 3 is how long in seconds you want the browser to wait before redirecting to a new page. Make sure that number is long enough for the page to load if necessary.

URL=http://www.yourdomain.com -- URL *must* be in all caps, and the new page MUST be a full url.

That's all.

thank you sooo much, i forgot to search the forums, thank you.

that search feature gets so forgotten!

Ah, well. A good little prompt to others -- try searching! try searching! lots of good information! try searching!

Is it possible to tell it to refresh a page into ANOTHER frame? something like

Thanks

Instead of a meta tag, you would have JavaScript to force pages into a specific frame (like if someone tries to open a page outside of your frameset) and while I'm not sure on the exact bits and bobs in doing it, you can have it so that a specific page is loaded into a specific frame when the page loads.

Hopefully someone can explain that in more detail for you, or try a resource like javascriptcity.com or irt.org.

Hi zeed2k,

the following will refresh the page:

parent.targetName.location.reload()

where targetName is the name of the frame you want to refresh

if you wish the above to be timed, you need to call it with a setTimeout():

function refreshFrame(frameName)
{
eval('parent.' + frameName + '.location.reload()' );
}

init(frameName)
{
refreshFrame(frameName);
setTimeout('init(' + frameName + '),120)
}

note: change the framename in the onLoad event handler to what you what. Also, change the '120' to whatever time you want.
