Hello all!

So I am creating a redirect page so that when someone signs up for our newsletter they're taken to this page and 10 seconds later, redirected to another page.

The script I'm using isn't working for some reason. I originally had it in a seperate .js file but put it in the text to reference it more easily.

Still nothing. Any ideas?

<html>

	<head>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="../maiccss/index.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="../maiccss/indexprint.css" type="text/css" media="print">
		<title>MAIC Newsletter and Updates Subscription Form</title>
        
        <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
        
        function timer {

			var goToTimer;
		
		goToTimer=setTimeout("goTo()",10000)	

		<!-- After 10 seconds the page changes -->
		
		function goTo() {
		
		document.location.href="subscribeJ.asp"
		
		}
	
}
        
        
        </script>

    <!--
    
    Should only be on this page for 10 seconds.
    
    --> 
    
	</head>

	<body onload = "timer">
		<!--#include virtual="include/header.htm" -->
		<!--#include virtual="include/skyscraper.htm" -->

it needs to be:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
		
function goTo() {
	document.location.href="subscribeJ.asp";
}


window.onload=function(){
	setTimeout(function(){ goTo(); },10000);
}	
</script>

and the body should just be:

<body>

will do what you want even if javascript is not available [assuming that the relative URLs - which I couldn't test - are valid, of course].

Note: a "clickable" link consisting of a single period isn't exactly user-friendly.
