Redirecting to a page based on the time of day

TimeRedirect lets you display a different page, based on the time set in the viewer's computer. For example, when a viewer loads the page or clicks an image, the browser can be redirected to another page depending on the time of day. You can even set it to go to one page before a specified hour and another on or after that hour. So, for example, you can set up your Web site to display one page during the day and another at night.

The action is reset at midnight.

Note: Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer retrieve the date information when the browser is first launched. If the computer's date is changed without restarting the browser (for example, to test the action), the new date is not noticed by the action.
