timed redirect to another page

[FN]

I know how to do an HTML content redirection (e.g. in 5 seconds you'll be
redirec to...) but...

I have a javascript countdown timer. It goes for a few hours. At the end,
I want to dispaly "times up", wait 10 more seconds, and then redirect to
another page. Is there a javascript way to do this, and would it work
going back to IE4 and NN4.5?

url="http://cnn.com/"
setTimeout("location.href=url",10000)

Thanks. And if I wanted to refresh the page, can I just specify the same
page where you wrote "url" or is there a different command for refresh?

"location.reload()"

or even

"location.href=location.href"
