Using Javascript, make my page load another page in a delayed time limit
I have a script which you can see in the code below.
What I want it to do though is instead of refreshing the current page in 300 seconds, I want it to load the current page in 300 seconds as if it was loading another page. Refresh just re-submits post variables but simply just loading the same page again could avoid this.
So, how can I make this script load it's own page again within 300 seconds without using the refresh/reload method?

<script language='javascript'>
function refreshEvery5Min()
{
setTimeout('location.reload(true);',300000);
}
onload=refreshEvery5Min();
</script>

What if I simply just want it to go to a different url after a certain amount of seconds?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
window.location = "../javascriptredirect.php
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delaye
<h2>Prepare to be redirected!</h2>
<p>This page is a time delay redirect, please update your bookmarks to our new
location!</p>
</body>

Check this thread out. The accepted solution will tell you how to do a isPostback in JS.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23182011/if-a-page-is-PostBack-in-Javascript.html
ok so knowing that. set your code up to create your variables etc within a if statement. If it is not postback then do blah. If it is then don't do blah. That way when the page posts back you won't have to worrry about redoing the stuff you don't want it to do.
