A nice little Javascript redirect

Just with some text to let the user know the page wasn’t there with a few links to existing content on the domain. Then, using the script below it redirects the visitor to my homepage in 2 seconds. A nice way to capture your 404 traffic I thought.
This example is setup to redirect to another page in 2 seconds. When a page contains this JavaScript, it will be redirected to another page that you specify in the “window.location=“. You can change the number of refresh seconds by changing the “move()’,2000 to the number of seconds you’d like.
Example:
1000 = 1 second
3000 = 3 seconds
Place this code between the <head> and </head> tags
<script language=”JavaScript”>
var time = null
function move() {
window.location = ‘http://www.yourdomain.com’
}
//–>
</script>Place this code in your <body> tag
<body onload=”timer=setTimeout(’move()’,2000)”>
