In this tutorial we will create a Wait 5 Seconds To Redirect using Javascript. JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex things on web pages. It is a text-based programming language meant to run as part of a web-based application. It is an interpreted programming language that has a capabilities of Object-Oriented. So Let's do the coding...

Getting started:

This is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

The Main Interface

This code contains the interface of the application. To create this just write these block of code inside the text editor and save this as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="widht=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">Javascript - Wait 5 Seconds To Redirect</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;">
                <br /><br />
                <center><h4>Please wait <span id="timer" class="text-primary">5</span> seconds to redirect you to main page</h4></center>
        </div>
</body>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
</html>

Creating the Script

This code contains the script of the application. This code will start the countdown, then afterwards it will redirect you to a specific websites. To do this just copy and write these block of codes as shown below inside the text editor and save it as script.js inside the js folder.

var timer = 5; 
var counter;
 
function startTimer() {
        counter = setInterval(countDown, 1000);
}
 
function countDown() {
        var display = document.getElementById("timer");
        display.innerHTML = timer;
        
 
        timer--;
        
        if (timer < 0) {
                clearInterval(counter);
                
                window.location.href = "https://sourcecodester.com";
        }
}               
 
startTimer();
