Hi Maria,
as Bill explained, you should be looking at JavaScript for everything
that happens on the client-side (i.e. after the page has left the server).
However you should consider shifting more of the logic to the
client-side in this case. For time-based actions with such a short
duration the additional overhead involved in sending and receiving a web
page could affect the results quite dramatically, especially when the
user is on a dodgy connection (think mobile or dial-up).
You may want to look into learning AJAX to communicate between the
client and server without requiring a full page reload and into a
front-end library like jQuery for adding the necessary client-side logic
to hide and reveal elements on the page (i.e. client-side) or provide
dynamic updates after the page has been sent by the server (Django).
There are some good live coding exercises and screencasts available
online if you want to learn more about jQuery or other front-end
libraries or just JavaScript in general.
Yours,
Alan

Hi everyone! :)
I am working on a project for my studies, it is a web poll where you
can only answer yes or no by clicking on buttons.
If the user clicked on one button, the result will be saved in a
text-file and the user will be redirected to another page with a
random id:
return HttpResponseRedirect ('/polls/'+str(sid))
*If the user doesnt click on any button quickly enough, I want the
page to redirect them after 3 seconds to another page with a random id
AND i want to save the id of the question that wasnt answered.* How
can I do it? I searched the web but only found the time.sleep
function. As far as I understood, I cant use the sleep function
because the site has to do other stuff while the 3 seconds pass.
I would be very thankful for any help on this!
Kind regards,
Maria
