I cannot get this to actually redirect. the countdown works but it doesn't redirect. I just get the timer. the timer counts down and hits zero and it goes absolutely nowhere.
Firstly, --timer will always return 4 since 5 was set as the initial value, thus you will never be redirected. You should add a else block to reduce timer value by 1 after every 60 000 milliseconds.
