How can I redirect a page on a specific date and time?

Thank You!

function sendOff() {
var tTime = new Date("April 20, 2005 12:03:59");
var now = new Date();
if (now.getTime() >= tTime.getTime()) {
location.replace("http://www.newsite.com/newPage.htm")
} else {
window.setTimeout("sendOff()",1000) // re-check in 1 sec
}
}


You have to watch out for the difference between UTC time and local time.

The code doesn't work for some reason! :(

Hi there 85882,

the code works OK. :D
Did you set it up like this...
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function sendOff() {
var tTime = new Date("march 19, 2005 20:59:59");
var now = new Date();
if (now.getTime() >= tTime.getTime()) {
location.replace("http://www.google.com/")
} else {
window.setTimeout("sendOff()",1000) // re-check in 1 sec
}
}
onload=sendOff;
//-->
</script>

hmm nifty script there, does it matter if the month is capitalized?

EDIT: to answer your question Aero, no it doesn't :P
