How do I...Load another frame after x seconds

[Douglas]

I have a webpage with some frames.
There are buttons on the left in a frame which load pages in another
frame on the right. Quite simple really.
Anyway i have a form on the "Contact Us" page which displays an
acknowledgment page after the form has been completed also in the RH
frame.
I want this ack.htm page to then load the main.htm page after say 5
seconds.
Can anyone tell me the code i would put in my ack.htm

Many thanks

You can use Javascript and the setTimeout(); function. This will cause
a delay, then after X seconds will run a function. This function can do
what ever you like.

Although be sure to include a regular link to main.htm too for all those
people without Javascript, and for those people who are smart enough to
read "Thank You" in less than 5 seconds and want to get on with their
lives.

<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout('location.href="http://www.????.com/????.html"',2500);
</script>

Alter the 2500 to suit yourself
