and it works good, but i want to call a function to redirect me to another page after the countdown reached to 0 but i don't know where to add this function, and what function i should call in the javascript file from the jQuery plug-in to handle this issue.

one way is as sergey said, same approach can be applied if you want to show the count down on your html page:

JavaScript

function countdown(remsec)//remsec in second
{
  if(remsec==-1) //cause it will display until zero
  {
   window.location='the_location_you_want_to_go.html';
   return ;
  }
  delay=remsec*1000;
  $("#div_id_where_you_want_to_show_your_count_down").html(remsec+" Second(s)"); //jquery library
  setTimeout(function(){countdown(remsec-1);}, delay);
}

and call the countdown function from your desired action; as example:

JavaScript

<input type="button" value="download" onclick="countdown(5)" />
