    I want it to take the person to a page and then 5 seconds later direct them to a different url.

    Something like this:

    <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
    window.location = "http://blah.com/blah.htm"
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)">
<p>Redirecting you in 5 seconds...</p>

</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    or add this to your meta tag:
    <META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.wherever.com">
    the number 5 represents the number of seconds delay.

    The JS method wouldn't work if JS was disabled, I'd go with the meta redirect.

    Except that fcks with the user's Back button-- the second most used button on All of Teh Interwebz. I hate redirects in general, but when they steal my Back button once, I don't let them do that again (I don't go back... ).

    adding meta tags is better

    <META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.wherever.com">
