Redirect with a Timer

You can use JavaScript window.location to redirect a visitor to a required page. You may have seen this feature used by sites with full page ads, or to redirect visitors to the site's new domain name. You can add also a timer to the script that will allow the page to redirect and the visitors will not need to click a link or type in the new URL.

 <script type="text/javascript">
	/* Source: http://www.apphp.com/index.php?snippet=javascript-redirect-with-timer */
    var count = 6;
    var redirect = "http://www.apphp.com";
     
    function countDown(){
        var timer = document.getElementById("timer");
        if(count > 0){
            count--;
            timer.innerHTML = "This page will redirect in "+count+" seconds.";
            setTimeout("countDown()", 1000);
        }else{
            window.location.href = redirect;
        }
    }
    </script>
