Page Redirect After X Seconds Wait Using Javascript

Question

I need to redirect to specific url after 5 seconds after putting an error message. First i have used Javascript as below.

document.ready(window.setTimeout(location.href = "",5000));

But it is not waiting for 5 seconds. Than I searched the issue in google than come to know that "document.ready()" is invoked when document is loaded at DOM, not at web browser.

Than i have used window.load() function of jQuery but still i am not getting what i want.

$(window).load(function() {
               window.setTimeout(window.location.href = "",5000);
            });

Can anyone please let me know how exactly i need to do to wait for 5 seconds.

Accepted Answer

It looks you are almost there. Try:

if(error == true){

    // Your application has indicated there's an error
    window.setTimeout(function(){

        // Move to a new location or you can do something else
        window.location.href = "";

    }, 5000);

}

Answer 2

You actually need to pass a function inside the window.setTimeout() which you want to execute after 5000 milliseconds, like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    // Handler for .ready() called.
    window.setTimeout(function () {
        location.href = "";
    }, 5000);
});

For More info: .setTimeout()

You can use this JavaScript function. Here you can display Redirection message to the user and redirected to the given URL.

<script type="text/javascript">   
    function Redirect() 
    {  
        window.location=""; 
    } 
    document.write("You will be redirected to a new page in 5 seconds"); 
    setTimeout('Redirect()', 5000);   
</script>

Answer 4

You need to pass a function to setTimeout

$(window).load(function () {
    window.setTimeout(function () {
        window.location.href = "";
    }, 5000)
});

Answer 5

Use JavaScript setInterval() method to redirect page after some specified time. The following script will redirect page after 5 seconds.

var count = 5;
setInterval(function(){
    count--;
    document.getElementById('countDown').innerHTML = count;
    if (count == 0) {
        window.location = ' 
    }
},1000);

Answer 6

$(document).ready(function() {
    window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = ""},5000);
});

Answer 7

setTimeout('Redirect()', 1000);
function Redirect() 
{  
    window.location=""; 
}

//document.write("You will be Redirect to a new page in 1000 -> 1 Seconds, 2000 -> 2 Seconds");

<script type="text/javascript">
      function idleTimer() {
    var t;
    //window.onload = resetTimer;
    window.onmousemove = resetTimer; // catches mouse movements
    window.onmousedown = resetTimer; // catches mouse movements
    window.onclick = resetTimer;     // catches mouse clicks
    window.onscroll = resetTimer;    // catches scrolling
    window.onkeypress = resetTimer;  //catches keyboard actions

    function logout() {
        window.location.href = 'logout.php';  //Adapt to actual logout script
    }

   function reload() {
          window.location = self.location.href;  //Reloads the current page
   }

   function resetTimer() {
        clearTimeout(t);
        t = setTimeout(logout, 1800000);  // time is in milliseconds (1000 is 1 second)
        t= setTimeout(reload, 300000);  // time is in milliseconds (1000 is 1 second)
    }
}
idleTimer();
        </script>
