try:

setTimeout(&quot;window.location = '

http://server5/ledunet/addition.asp'&quot;,2000)

if you are using a modern browser (5+) you should be able to say:

setTimeout(function(){window.location = '

http://server5/ledunet/addition.asp',2000)

or better yet (for readibility):

function goAway()
{
window.location = '

http://server5/ledunet/addition.asp'

}

setTimeout(goAway,2000)

This is because, modern browsers allow function references in place of eval'ed strings in setTimeout and setInterval method calls. jared@eae.net -
