JQuery Redirect to URL after specified time

Question

Is there a way to use JQuery to redirect to a specific URL after a give time period?

Answer 1

I have made a simple demo that prompts for X number of seconds and redirects to set url. If you don't want to wait until the end of the count, just click on the counter to redirect with no time. Simple counter that will count down while pulsing time in the midle of the page. You can run it onclick or while some page is loaded.

I also made github repo for this: https://github.com/GlupiJas/redirect-counter-plugin

JS CODE EXAMPLE:

// FUNCTION CODE
function gjCountAndRedirect(secounds, url)
{

        $('#gj-counter-num').text(secounds);

        $('#gj-counter-box').show();

    var interval = setInterval(function()
    {

        secounds = secounds - 1;

        $('#gj-counter-num').text(secounds);

        if(secounds == 0)
        {

            clearInterval(interval);
            window.location = url;
            $('#gj-counter-box').hide();

        }

    }, 1000);

    $('#gj-counter-box').click(function() //comment it out -if you dont want to allo count skipping
    {
        clearInterval(interval);
        window.location = url;

    });
}

// USE EXAMPLE
$(document).ready(function() {
    //var
    var gjCountAndRedirectStatus = false; //prevent from seting multiple Interval

    //call
    $('h1').click(function(){
        if(gjCountAndRedirectStatus == false)
        {
            gjCountAndRedirect(10, document.URL);
            gjCountAndRedirectStatus = true;
        }
    });

});
