the below code should work, although, you've posted pseudo code, so i can't
check it for any errors.
if you don't print anything to the screen (including error messages, white
space, etc), header() will work.
be aware that any implementation of javascript will be limited to clients
that have javascript turned on, or even available. i wouldn't be basing
something as simple as a redirect on JS, because of the implications... i'd
be getting the code right on the server.
