Q1640 How can I replace a frameset with a single page after a delay?

The following loads the mainpage.html as the visible page five seconds after the frames in the frameset have completely loaded:

<frameset cols="100%,*" onLoad="setTimeout('top.location.href=\'mainpage.html\''),5000);">
<frame src="splashpage.html">
<frame src="mainpage.html">
</frameset>

This could be used to display a splash page (a fast loading "please wait" page), whilst a large main page is being downloaded.
