Question

I’ve seen some functions with normal javascript here on stackoverflow, regarding my question.
Although I haven’t seen anything that will delay the redirect function which I have here.

    if(data=='success'){
        $('form').fadeOut();
        $('#status').addClass('noti-success').html('Please wait while we redirect you...').slideDown();
        redirect("?i=a");
    }

As you can see, it will redirect immediately to ?i=a, and therefore makes the notifiction message only show for a second or so.

How can I delay the redirect function with X number of seconds?

Answer 1

You can make the redirect after the message was hidden:

$('#status')
  .addClass('noti-success')
  .html('Please wait while we redirect you...')
  .delay(2000)
  .slideDown(function() {
      redirect("?i=a");
  });
