That's pretty much it. The browser is in control here, and jijx is only indirectly in control as a result.
Probably the simplest would be to put something like Refresh: 3 in the http headers in your MYTEMPLATE (before the first blank line). But I haven't tested that - I probably need to upgrade my jhs implementation before your code would work for me.
