John S., mike gifford,


Use a META REFRESH tag.
<META http-equiv="REFRESH" content="5; url=http://www.yoururl.com/">
to set the time, change 5(seconds) to whatever you want. 10 seconds is 
usually the longest setting you should use unless you have alot of text 
then give the user enough time to read it (by the slowest amount) and 
then also offer an alternate link to the page (for older browsers).
