Hi

Dont know if there are better ways to do it but this one works.

In the HEAD tag put this
------------------------------------------------------------
function LoadWindow() {
window.open("PageName","_self");
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
var timer=setTimeout("LoadWindow()",20000);
</script>
------------------------------------------------------------
Dont forget to put the PageName.

If this is what you were looking for please say something back.
