  2.     function RedirectAfterDelayFn()  
  3.     {  
  4.         var seconds = 5;  
  5.         var dvCountDown = document.getElementById("CountDown");  
  6.         var lblCount = document.getElementById("CountDownLabel");  
  7.         dvCountDown.style.display = "block";

  15.                 dvCountDown.style.display = "none";  
  16.                 window.location = "Redirected.aspx";  
  17.             }  
  18.         }, 1000);  
  19.     }

Explanation
 
Our source code contains an HTML button and an HTML DIV tag which further contains HTML SPAN for displaying the countdown timer. When ever the button is clicked the RedirectAfterDelayFn JavaScript function is executed. Inside this function, the JavaScript setInterval function is initialized to execute every 1 second. When the function is executed the time decreases by 1 second and when the value of seconds becomes 0 the countdown timer is stopped and the page is redirected to another page.
