	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>

	<title> Test </title>
	
	<script language='javascript'>
		redirTime = "5000";
		redirURL = "/common/index.php";
		function redirTimer() { 
			self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime);
		}
	</script>
</head>

<body onload="redirTimer();" >

</body>
</html>
