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.
