Javascript redirect delay

[Techieish]

I have this code for a loading page and i want to delay it instead of it going right away. I have it in the head of my page and i want to delay it 5000 milliseconds. Thanks

<script type="text/javascript">
function detectBrowser()
{
var browser=navigator.appName
var b_version=navigator.appVersion
var version=parseFloat(b_version)
if ((browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"))
window.location = "

http://quinn.1429caddo.net/explorer.htm"

else
window.location = "

http://quinn.1429caddo.net/mozilla.htm"

}
</script>

Just give a timeout everywhere that function is called and then you don't need to change the function itself which has a self-sufficient and clear purpose of its own.

//take out and replace
[red]//[/red]detectBrowser();
setTimeout("detectBrowser()",5000);
[/tt]

Why not write a site that is cross-browser compatible? I see nothing on your site which shouldn't be do-able in most browsers without the need for this sort of browser detection.
