Timed Redirect with warning to multiple pages

05-30-2009

I'm looking for a script I can use that warns a user they are leaving
my site. Then after like 5 seconds continues on to the site. I have
a list of about 100 links and I don't want to have to create a
seperate page for each link. Would be nice to setup a page that I can
use a script on.

i.e. page?link=google.com

This would display my warning page for 5 seconds then continue on to
google.com

or page?link=hotmail.com

This would show my warning ofr 5 seconds and continute on to
hotmail,com .. .etc..

Anyone know of a way to script this?

Thanks

Try this

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function redir(url) {
document.write("You will be redirected in 5 seconds")
setTimeout('location.href="' + url + '"',5000)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Redirect" title="Redirect"
onclick="redir('rollover.html')" />
</body>
</html>

The filename between onclick="redir(' and ')" is the URL that you want to go
to

You are babbling. The point is that it is a stupid idea. The only
sound advice is to skip it.

A much less obnoxious alternative is simply to append the text " (External
Link)" to the href (alt attribute) and img (title attribute) tags.

You've got the attributes backwards.

Upon sober reflection, I believe you are correct.
(href title="..text"; img alt="..text")

Still not good. The alt attribute is for alternative text, in case the
image is not displayed for a reason or another. The title attribute
(advisory title) would be proper for both, links and images.

This does not look good. What happens if there is no JavaScript support
available?
