Redirect after 'x' seconds

[SavSin]

Ok so i have tried a few different methods to no success.

The meta refresh on the top of the template doesn't work for me.

So here is what I am trying to do.

on a custom page. i give the use a set amount of fields to add information once they hit submit . If its successful i have a lil box green saying good job ... in error its a red box telling them the error.

I need to automatically redirect back to the main page... im trying to look into the vb templates and pages for like after post it redirects back.
