Countdown script to zero

[redfroc]

Hi all..
I want to put script on my page which count number down from 10 to 0 then redirect to main page automatically.

Is there any JS to doing this?
I've do search all arround the net but still found nothing.

Thank you..

you probably want to control the speed of the countdown too....

var g_interval = 10;
function countDownRedir()
{
  if (--g_interval == 0)
  {
    document.location = "http://www.newurl.com";
    clearInterval(g_interval);
  }
}

var g_interval = setInterval(countDownRedir, 1000);

Why not a simple HTML solution?... Put this meta tag in the HEAD section of your page:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.yourdomain.com/yourmainpage.html">

That's a great simple solution to the problem.

The reason to use the javascript solution is to do more than simply redirect after 10 seconds. For example, perhaps the OP would like to display a timer. All you'd have to do is add the extra code for displaying the timer.

But yeah, the meta refresh, easiest way to accomplish the timed redirect.

Actually, I just looked, my code is broken. I'm so dumb.

Change the variable g_interval on lines 7 and 11 to g_countdownInterval, or something else, like so:

var g_interval = 10;
function countDownRedir()
{
  if (--g_interval == 0)
  {
    document.location = "http://www.newurl.com";
    clearInterval(g_countdownInterval);
  }
}

var g_countdownInterval = setInterval(countDownRedir, 1000);

Sorry about that, total brain fart.

Finally, i've got the right code..
'cause the prev code doesn't works.
thanks..
