You don't even need JavaScript for that. This is basically the same as
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="...">, with all the navigation problems
that come with it.
The OP also wrote "download some stuff [...] _and_display_it_", which I
understood to mean "fetch with JS and insert into the current document". If
this interpretation is correct, neither `window.location = ..` nor a meta
refresh will do what he needs.
