temp screen appear

[Guest]

Hi I am working on an old web application and wanted to add new screen with
an image that appears for 5 seconds and then is replaced by the website start
page, index1.aspx. Just wondering if anyone knows how to do this, thanks.

You did not say if there were any actions that must happen during this five
seconds. If no actions, such as loading of objects, need to happen, then
you can always use the <meta refresh ...> tag at the start of the page so
that it will redirect after a specified period of time.

thanks for the response. There are no actions that need to occure other than
just displaying an image for the 5 seconds. Just wondering if you can
provide a brief example of the <meta refresh> tag and does this tag go in the
image form or the start form?
Here is what I am looking for.
1. user clicks web link
2. webform opens showing image.
3. after 5 seconds webform shows normal webstart page-image is no longer
displayed.
