How to make a delay between pages?

@Alyssariah ,

Well it has been years since you posted your question above. I’m going back to old posts to see if I can help and found yours. You’ve probably almost definitely found an answer or a workaround to what you were trying to do above, but I thought I might still contribute as follows. Try this code to get both your delay and screen color to change depending on the answer: 

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
  /* Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed */

  /* Focus on the input box */
  jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").select().focus();

  /* Define banned words and regex pattern */
  var bannedWords = ["cat"];
  var regex = new RegExp('\\b' + bannedWords.join("\\b|\\b") + '\\b', 'i');
  console.log(regex);

  /* Store the current context */
  var that = this;

  /* Event listener for keydown */
  Event.observe(document, 'keydown', function(e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 32) { // If space was pressed
      jQuery("input").on("change", function() {
        var valid = regex.test(this.value);
        if (valid) {
          jQuery("body").css("background-color", "blue");
          setTimeout(function() {
            jQuery("body").css("background-color", "white");
          }, 3000);
        } else {
          jQuery("body").css("background-color", "red");
          setTimeout(function() {
            jQuery("body").css("background-color", "white");
          }, 3000);
        }
      });
    }
  });

  /* Timer expired function */
  var explode = function() {
    alert("enter explode");
    jQuery("body").css("background-color", "white");
    that.clickNextButton();
    alert("boom");
  };

});
 

In this code, when the participant enters an answer and presses the space key, the change event listener is triggered. It checks if the entered value matches the banned words. If it does, the background color of the page is set to blue for 3 seconds before turning back to white. If it doesn't match, the background color is set to red for 3 seconds before turning back to white.

The explode function is called when the timer expires (after 3 seconds). It sets the background color to white, clicks the Next button, and displays an alert message.

Make sure to include the necessary dependencies (such as jQuery) in your Qualtrics project and test the survey to see if it behaves as expected.
