How do you set the time on a redirect page? ASP

Hi there,

I've built a couple of registration pages, using a session variable to carry
the user id from the first to the second, on completion of the second the user
is redirected to a page that thanks them for registering and informs them that
they will be contacted within 72 hours. This page also has the code below,
which drops the session variable and then redirects them to the index. What i
would like to do is set a time of about 5 seconds before the second redirect,
therefore giving the user time to read the Thank you message, Any ideas?

thank you

// *** Logout the current user.
var MM_logoutRedirectPage = "index.asp";
Session.Contents.Remove("MM_client");
if (MM_logoutRedirectPage != "") Response.Redirect(MM_logoutRedirectPage);

Yes, that's how I have to deal with a redirection issue. After the ASP runs I have this line:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;URL=loggedOut.asp">

Works perfectly.
