I'm using an intemediary page to tell the user that their password was changed successfully, before forwarding them to the action page. How do I pause i this intermediary page for a few seconds?
I tried something like this:
before doing this:
The redirect works but no pausing happens.
Thanks.

Are you looking to do something similar to what it does when you post to one of these topics? It brings up a page that says something like "thank you for posting, we are taking you back to blah blah blah." And, within a few seconds, it redirects you back to the topic you posted to. Is that what you want? Well, here's the code you'll need. You need to include something like this in your <head> section of your html page...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;
http://www.yahoo.com">
This will forward to
www.yahoo.com after 5 seconds. However, it's usually nice to place a link to the URL in case the user wants to jump right to it or doesn't feel like waiting 5 seconds (impatient users).
Hope this helps!
