How does one do one of these? I basically want to mirror HTML's own refresh ability, where it sends you to another URL after n seconds, but I need to also specify a target "_TOP", something you can't do in HTML, because the page I'm working with is in a frameset, and I need to redirect the whole set.

:-) Thanks

The way you end up doing it can change, but here's the gist:

Code:
setTimeout(function() {
        top.location.href = "somepage.html";
    }, 5000);

That can be wrapped in a function to be called onload, or just chucked into the documents <head> if you're not bothered about the page loading fully...

The 5000 denoted five seconds, btw.
