I am new to this forum and i have recently got a new web site, and i am wondering on what is the best code for letting my title page display x seconds and then automatically directing users to my main page.

If anyone can help with this i would be very thankful:D

This should help:
It is set to goto new page in 5 seconds.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=new_page.html">

You can try something like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var waitHowLong=5;//put your seconds to wait here
function openLinkDelayed(){
delay=window.setTimeout("location.href='mypage.htm'", waitHowLong*1000);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="openLinkDelayed()" title="&nbsp;Goto mypage.htm&nbsp;">click</a>
</body>
</html>

Cheers - Pit

You would be much better off to use what simpson97 recommended rather than what rhsunderground did since simpson97's doesn't use JS... Also, just in case you don't know, the meta tag should go in the head of the document.
