Making A Dynamic HTML Page to Redirect to A URL Using JavaScript

Question

I need to make A Dynamic HTML Page to Redirect to A URL Using JavaScript.
As a beginner, i need your help...
What i want to do is to redirect to a url through a html page.
For example: suppose a page address is www.example.com/pages.html?http://yahoo.com/news so this pages.html page in this case will redirect a user to yahoo.com/news ....
I know how to do this with PHP but i cant understand how i should do it with javascript and HTML . any idea? Thanks

is that a query string? or is that the format of url?

This should do it:

 function Redirect(){
  var current = window.location.href;
  var exclude = current.indexOf('?');
  window.location = current.substr(exclude + 1);
 }
 setTimeout("Redirect()",5000);

You can use window.location.href="new-url.html"; to go to a URL with JavaScript.

To parse the URL, use var theURL=window.location.href.split("?")[1];
