redirect issue

<< < (2/4) > >>

writeto:
It is bad html practice to use refresh because on some browser you will lose the ability to use th back button.

Tyris:
well... you can click the back button twice really quickly ;)
but yeah.. it is pretty dodgy...
still has its use tho.

do you have a better way ?
because I noticed that it wouldn't work if I 'Backwarded' to the redirect page ..

writeto:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
        var x = 10
        var y = 1

        function startClock()
   {
           x = x-y
           document.frm.clock.value = x
           setTimeout("startClock()", 1000)
           if(x==0)
      {
             location.replace("http://google.com");
           }
        }
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="startClock()">
This page will redirect in :
<FORM NAME="frm">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="clock" SIZE=2 >
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>

Formatting got a little screwed up but oh well. If you don't want to use javascript I don't know a better way but I am far from a web guru like [Unknown].
