Any ideas how I can get this to target a new window and/or blank page after redirect?

var targetURL="my page"

var countdownfrom=10


var currentsecond=document.redirect.redirect2.value=co untdownfrom+1
function countredirect(){
if (currentsecond!=1){
currentsecond-=1
document.redirect.redirect2.value=currentsecond
}
else{
window.location=targetURL
return

}
setTimeout("countredirect()",500)
}

countredirect()

window.open(URL)

Your such a smart person chrishirst!

I just can't seem to get it to work. No matter were I add that, it stops the re-direct timer??

Any advice?
