need redirect script

[cd]

Hi!
Can someone please help me? I am looking for a simple, adjustable, time delay redirect script, with the countdown to redirect NOT visible on the page. Thanks in advance!

This oughtta do the trick The number "5" is the number of seconds to delay, and it's obvious where the URL is

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.URLGOESHERE.com"&gt;[/code]

Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,
Thanks. Actually that is the redirect script I was using. Had content set for 15. Maybe I need to look into finding a way to make my applet load faster?
Looks to me as though your URL will be very useful in the future. Thanks!
Another question? I read somewhere that I can turn the applet background color to whatever I want by changing the "x" index in my gif image. I don't have a clue how to? Do you? Anybody?
Thanks again,

I don't understand...what applet are you referring to?

Ooopsss, the applet on my site, Chris.
The page loads way slow & what is happening is some folks get redirected before the applet even loads! Not cool...even afer 15 sec delay. http://www.woodylingle.com

Java is slow... Even on a 500 megahertz Pentium III running natively compiled code, Java applications take 2-3 times as long to load as their C++ counter parts.

If you absolutely have to have the java applet then you can create a javascript that interacts with the applet and let the applet redirect your user when it is done. Keep in mind that while I know this can be done, I am no Java guru and I don't know exactly how to accomplish at this time. It would require research on your part.

Thanks Wayne, I think I had mentioned before that Woody likes the applet. (Well not so much applet but the pixel duster.) Fans like it too! I'm working now on a new opening page, but it still has a dissovle applet in it. I'll never use another applet if I can help it...no kidding. &lt;OUCH!&gt; I can probably find a java script, not a large hassle to research, which will work with it. I've already seen a redirect script from within applet, out there... just a matter of finding it again.
Appreciate your help, gentlemen!

you want a jscript to redirect?

put this into the header.

&lt;script&gt;
&lt;!--
function fwd() {
for (i=0;i&lt;10000;i++)
{}
location.href="./sub-dl7g/dl7g-dhm.htm"; }
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;

and put onLoad="javascript:fwd()" into your body tag. change the value 10000 if the time until you're redirected is too long/short.

questions? email/icq me or re-post.
