After some time, your page will auto closed. You should try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.setTimeout('window.location="/<!--Enter another page that will be opened after this page is closed-->"; ',3500<!--this is how long before it's closed-->);
    </script>
example:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.setTimeout('window.location="/Lab%20/index.php"; ',5000<!--this is how long before it's closed, 5000 for 5sec-->);
    </script>

Tried the onload event: it does not work, it executes immediately, even if you do a "setTimeout".

Turned out to be very simple, just add a script tag to your body:

<script>
  setTimeout(function() {
      window.close()
  }, 5000);
</script>

after it loads it executes the script and waits 5 seconds before it exits.

You need JavaScript. put some javascript code in your html that will open in new tab. then the code will wait for page to load and wait another 5 second to close the tab.

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="waitFiveSec()"> <!--it will wait to load-->

<!-- your html... -->
<script>
  function waitFiveSec(){
    setTimeout(function, milliseconds) /*(here you need to implement delay code)*/
    window.close();
  }
</script>

</body>
</html>

here is some links you may need :
