Counter without setTimeout

[DigitalBoy]

I am trying to develop a counter that will do a self.location after 8 seconds. However, I cannot use setTimeout because the browser that I'm developing for will not accept it. I can only use the Date functions. Any suggestions?

you can use this:

function sleep(num)
{
var f = new Date();
f = new Number(f);
f = f + num;
while(true)
{
var n = new Date();
n = new Number;
if(n >= f)
{
break;
}
}
}

you just call it like so:

sleep(8000);
then call your function. luciddream@subdimension.com
