Pausing before page redirection

[ridzz]

Helo..
I would like to ask if it is possible to have a delay in the page redirection? What i want to do is for the user being able to read the page for a few seconds before it is automatically redirected to a new page. How do i do that..?

Thanx

Hm. I think you might have posted this question to the wrong forum, ridzz. I don't see how it relates to Tcl/Tk.

On the assumption that you're asking about doing page redirection for HTML browsers, there are several web sites that describe how to do this. Doing a search, the first one I encountered was

after will work for you and it is platform independent.
There is no sleep in win32 and the sleep call you are thinking of only works for *nix machines.
read the docs for the after command.

ex:

foreach xxx $myurls {
puts $page $xxx
flush $page
after 150000
continue
}
