I use this to achieve what you want.

Code:

<html><head><script language='javascript'>
   var nrOfSeconds = 20;
   function scd()
   {
	nrOfSeconds -= 1; 
	if (nrOfSeconds == 0)
	{ 
	 self.close();
	} 
   }
 
   </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  <a href="#" onClick="setInterval('scd()',1000)">Close in 20 seconds</a>
  </body> 
  </html>

ok cheers....But
i dont want users to click on the link

i want them went they submit the email address the web browser to count from the second the subit button has been clicked for passing the email!

Why do you want to wait 20 seconds after the submit button has been pressed?

**Fizlar** · Sep 30, 2003, 03:48

ahh well a message comes up and says thank you and email has been sent this window will now automatically will close now

20 sec 5 sec whatever... is it possible?

In that case, once the user clicks the link, you can count down the 20 seconds and then call the .submit() method on the form. Of course this means that the form won't be submitted until the 20 seconds are up.
