Hi Dian ~, You can do a meta refresh or a javascript redirect like so:
Meta refresh: <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=http://www.example.com/something";> Javascript: <script type="text/javascript"> setTimeout("location.href='/something'",10000) </script> location.href will take the person to the new url. location.replace will also take the person to the URL but it will replace the location, meaning that going back one page in history will NOT take the person to the thank you page. The numeric value for setTimeout is milliseconds. In addition to doing this, you should also do a "If this page doesn't automatically redirect in 10 seconds, click here..." for those psychos out there who disable metarefreshes and active scripting. When I've done this in the past, I've used both a meta refresh and the javascript.
