Delayed Redirect Script for Image Hosting site

[lostgot]

Im Currently looking for a script which dealys the opening of the Image page by 5 seconds.

Example:
A user clicks on the thumbnail of the image---->The Landing page must show "Please wait while the image loads......" ------>(after 5secs)--->Opens the original full size image page.

How can this be done..?

[ads2help]

you must have a function that redirects. An example :

function redirect(reference) {
// replace with your view image file
location.href = 'image.php?id='+reference
}

function delayed_redirect(reference) {
setTimeout('redirect(reference);',5000) // 5000 milliseconds = 5 secs
}


in your file that display the image:

<img src="link_to_image.gif" title="Thumbnail of bla bla" onclick="delayed_redirect(REFERENCE_TO_YOUR_PICTURE)" />


The REFERENCE_TO_YOUR_PICTURE may be the picture's ID? or anything that you need to tell your scripts to display the image.

Javascript Function setTimeout Is useful for You....

[bilawal360]

Usually setTimeout() is common for javascript but a majority of people who don't have javascript meaning you'd have to use <meta http-equiv='refresh'...> for your <noscript>. I know this is irrelevant for javascript, but it's useful to have support for people who don't use javascript because there is a LOT of negatives for javascript.
