I have a form that when submited post to a page that executes asp code
that updates table in a database. If all went well then I have a redirect
to the home page of the application. I like the redirect because this
means the users does not have to click a link to get back. What I don't
like is that the user does not see a confirmation that the transaction was
completed. How can I set up a timer so that the page redirects after 5
seconds. I know I can use a META REFRESH. Is this the only way? If so how
to I get the redirect to happen after the REFRESH has run out?
Thanks.

The META Refresh specifies a page. Just have your homepage specified in the
Refresh tag, and after your time setting, it will take them there
automatically...

The problem is if there is an error the page still refreshed to the home
page. I want to avoid this when an error occurs

Why don't you send them to a different page if an error occurs?
