Use CF to find the difference from now until your time in milliseconds, then
use the following code to execute it. Say your time is five minutes from
now:
5 minutes * 60 seconds * 1000 milliseconds = 300000 milliseconds
<script lang="javascript">
function TimeExpired()
{
alert ("Your time is up!");
window.location.href = "http://server.com/somepage.html";;
}
</script>
<body onload="setTimeout('TimeExpired();', 300000 );
I haven't tested this but I think it will do the trick.
