Re: Redirect and execute after 2 seconds?

Hi again Maria,

Try to combine the solutions proposed in those two pages:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2133166/loop-timer-in-javascript#2133217
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948227/should-i-use-window-navigate-or-document-location-in-javascript#948242

That should be more than enough.
