If javascript is disabled this will not work, so provide a link in that case to be clicked on. You can also use the meta tag: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=index.php"> <body> Hello there </body> Since <meta> starts counting when page is first accessed (as opposed to when the page is comepletly loaded), people with slow connection might not see the message -- depending on how big things are.
