Mmm, not sure you can do this server side...why not look at my posted response here: thread333-395152
All you would need to do to delay the page coming up is make the loading image the same color as your background and instead of makeing it disappear immediately in the onLoad event, use the javascript setTimeout to wait 5 seconds.
Double check my wait time, I'm always bad at remembering which function uses what time scales.
Another option is to have an intermediary page that refreshes to the final page after 5 seconds (meta refresh perhaps) but you will lose your form information this way without creating a lot of code to pass it on.
Just some ideas,

For my next trick I will pull a hat out of a rabbit (if you think thats bad you should see how the pigeon feels...)
