Redirecting a page to another at a given time (not after some seconds)

@David_HarrisonOct 13.2004 — #Put this somewhere in your page:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
 
 var endTime="15:32:00";
 var redirPage="http://www.w3.org/";
 
 window.onload=check;
 
 var d, h, m, s;
 
 function check(){
 
 d=new Date();
 h=d.getHours().toString();
 m=d.getMinutes().toString();
 s=d.getSeconds().toString();
 
 if(h.length==1){h="0"+h;}
 if(m.length==1){m="0"+m;}
 if(s.length==1){s="0"+s;}
 
 if(h+":"+m+":"+s == endTime){
 location.href=redirPage;
 }else{
 setTimeout("check()",1000);
 }
 
 }
 
 //--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

However, do not rely on the clients computer clock to be correct, many aren't. Also you may have users in different time zones and users with JavaScript disabled (roughly 10% of users do not have JavaScript enabled).

Using JavaScript for this effect will produce vary unreliable results.

The best way to acheive this effect would be to use a server side language and let users view the first page if it is before the cut-off time, but if they arrive after the cut-off time, use a header redirect to take them to a different page.

@David_HarrisonOct 13.2004 — #OK then, happy to help. ?
