Time delay in url redirection may be useful for the following conditions:

Refresh a web page in every specified seconds.
For displaying an "Update you Bookmark" page when a page Url has ben changed.

The html and JavaScript code for url redirection with delay is given below:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function delayedRedirect(){
window.location = "/default.aspx"
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayedRedirect()', 3000)">
<h2>You'll be redirected soon!</h2>
</body>
</html>

The JavaScript function setTimeout is the most important part of the code given above. Javascript setTimeout function calls delayedRedirect function after 3 seconds (3000 miliseconds).

Why not use anonymous functions?

<body onload="window.setTimeout(function() {window.location = "/default.aspx"}, 3000)">
