Is there any way to delay including a page in jsp

[Neil Grace]

I have two includes in my jsp. What i want to do is make the second include after some delay. How can I do that? Thanks.

<jsp:include page="Page1.jsp"></jsp:include>

//Need to insert delay here.

<jsp:include page="Page2.jsp"></jsp:include>

You can't. Not with JSP technology, at least.

What you need to do is to start a JavaScript timer when the page loads, and when the timer expires, grab the page fragment to be included via an Ajax request.

This is almost trivial with jQuery's help.

Put an empty div in the page where the delayed content is to be placed, like:<div id="delayedContent"></div>
Then use the following script:$(function(){ window.setTimeout(function(){ $('#delayedContent').load('/url/path/to/fragment'); }, 1000); //change to desired delay duration });
This will fetch the delayed content 1 second after the page loads and stick it into the empty div.

Thanks for the reply. What I am trying to achieve is:

I want to show Page2.jsp based on a session attribute that will be set by the AJAX call from Page1.jsp. So I want to delay the displaying of page2.jsp and subsequent page unless I get response back from AJAX call made.

The instead of doing it in a ready handler with a timeout as I showed, you'd do the .load() in the success handler of the previous Ajax request. Why didn't you put all that in the initial topic?
