JQuery Redirect to URL after specified time

Question

Is there a way to use JQuery to redirect to a specific URL after a give time period?

Answer 1

You could use the setTimeout() function:

// Your delay in milliseconds var delay = 1000;  setTimeout(function(){ window.location = URL; }, delay); 

Answer 2

You don't really need jQuery for this. You could do it with plain javascript using the setTimeout method:

// redirect to google after 5 seconds window.setTimeout(function() {     window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com'; }, 5000);
